Summary
The primary objective of this study is to compare local corticosteroid hand and elbow
injections to placebo or ketorolac to determine if there is an equal or better reduction of
symptoms for common orthopaedic upper extremity disorders including: De Quervain's
tenosynovitis, trigger fingers, and tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis). The investigators
will enroll 780 subjects, divided equally into three arms for each disease process, and
compare the efficacy of Ketorolac injections to Dexamethasone injections by measuring
patient's functional status scores and pain scores at 0 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks,
and 6 month followup periods, prospectively over time.
