In brief Corticosteroid injections are sometimes used to treat Achilles tendinitis after conservative measures such as anti-inflammatory medications, rest, ice massage, and immobilization have failed. Some research suggests that corticosteroid injections can lead to tendon rupture, though other investigations have not shown a correlation. A case report detailing partial Achilles tendon rupture after corticosteroid injection renews concern about the risks of this treatment.
