Dystrophic calcification of the ankle joint following intra-articular corticosteroid injections

Calcification is a recognised side effect of IACI with rates as high as 50% reported and can be located in the pericapsular, intracapsular or intra-articular location. 2 The probable causal mechanism relates to local tissue injury from the needle and low water solubility of the extra-articular corti...
