Patients with symptoms refractory to corticosteroid injection may require surgical release. No prior studies have identified whether injection of corticosteroid for De Quervain\u2019s tenosynovitis leads to adverse postoperative outcomes. This study aimed to determine whether corticosteroid injections administered within 3 months prior to De Quervain\u2019s release increase the risk of postoperative surgical site infection.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We used a national administrative database to identify adult patients undergoing De Quervain\u2019s release and divided patients into two cohorts based on whether they received a corticosteroid injection for De Quervain\u2019s tenosynovitis within 90 days prior to the surgery. After propensity score matching for age, sex, US region, insurance plan, Elixhauser Comorbidity Index, and history of tobacco use, rates of surgical site infection, reoperation, and wound dehiscence were assessed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Patients who received an injection within the 90-day period prior to surgical release did not experience a higher incidence of surgical site infections, return to the operating room for infection, or wound dehiscence.
