| Context |
Insoluble corticosteroids must be injected with caution, especially if given in a series, because of the paucity of fibroconnective tissue on the dorsum of the foot, especially over the toes, and in the tarsus and retrocalcaneal space. Low doses and infrequent injections should be used to avoid skin and soft tissue damage (eg, depigmentation, atrophy, ulceration), especially in the elderly and in those with peripheral vascular disease and when injecting small joints of the foot.
