Fracture Risk After Corticosteroid Injections in Non-geriatric Patients With Upper Extremity Osteoarthritis: A Retrospective Analysis

Intra-articular CSIs of the shoulder, elbow, or wrist were not associated with an increased short-term fragility fracture risk in non-geriatric patients with upper extremity OA. These findings support the continued use of CSIs in younger populations, although long-term and higher-risk cohorts warrant further investigation for broader risk assessment.
