Abstract
Tendinopathies are an important group of lesions with a broad spectrum of overlapping characteristics that can pose a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Although local corticosteroid injections are one of the most common treatments, there is no good evidence to support their use. This is due to either a true lack of effect or a lack of good trials. More research is warranted into the characteristics of specific tendinopathies and the biochemical, cellular, and clinical effects of corticosteroids on these lesions.
