A No. 1 nylon suture on a 90 mm cutting needle approximates...

Local steroid injections did not contribute to an earlier return to sport, though many individuals were improved symptomatically. Local steroids were not found to have a deleterious effect on outcome. Steroids were used most frequently in the chronic c...
