Trigger finger is a common hand disorder in which swelling of the affected flexor-tendon results in triggering, locking or pain at the A1-pulley and impaired function of the finger. In this clinical l...
The differential diagnosis of a trigger finger presents a clinical challenge. This case depicts a 32-year-old male patient who presented with persistent snapping of the right index finger at the metac...
Trigger finger (TF) is a disorder characterized by snapping or locking a finger. It has a prevalence of greater than 3% in the general population; however, this estimate could be increased to 5% up to...
Trigger finger surgery is a commonly performed open procedure with known potential complications of infection, stiffness, pain, nerve injury, bowstringing, and incomplete release of the A1 pulley. We ...
The aim of this prospective study of 55 patients was to analyse the cross-sectional and longitudinal relationship between disability and physical and psychological variables after conservative treatme...
To investigate the health-related factors and analyze the expression of epigenetic related genes and inflammatory genes in metabolic syndrome Trigger Finger (TF) and smoker TF....
Samples from patients' fingers with symptomatic TF were collected. There were seven groups: healthy control group, carpal tunnel syndrome (as a control for gene expression analysis), TF, diabetic TF, ...
There was a significant increase in hand dysfunction in the metabolic TF groups and smoker group compared to the TF group (p < 0.0001). The stress levels of the smoker TF group and TF with hypertensio...
Health-related factors in the TF tendons was highly associated with the level of inflammation and genetic alteration in TF metabolic syndromes and smoker TF patients. Therefore, further investigation ...
Pediatric trigger finger (PTF) is an acquired condition that is uncommon and anatomically complex. Currently, the literature is characterized by a small number of retrospective case series with limite...
A retrospective review of pediatric patients with a diagnosis of PTF between 2009 and 2020 was performed at three tertiary referral hospitals. Patient demographics, PTF characteristics, treatment stra...
In total, 321 patients with 449 PTFs were included at a mean follow-up of 3.9 ± 4.0 years. There were approximately equal numbers of boys and girls, and the mean age of symptom onset was 5.4 ± 5.1 yea...
Only 30% of the PTFs managed nonsurgically achieved complete resolution. Splinting did not improve resolution rates in children treated nonsurgically. In contrast, surgical intervention has a high lik...

Trigger finger is a common condition in the hand, and ultrasound-guided acupotomy for trigger finger has been widely used in recent years....
This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided acupotomy for trigger finger....
We searched for relevant studies in the Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Embase, PubMed, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), Wanfang Data, and other resource...
Overall, 15 studies with 988 patients were included. The experimental group was treated with ultrasound-guided acupotomy, and the Control group received traditional acupotomy, traditional operation or...
Our systematic review and meta-analysis can prove the effectiveness and safety of ultrasound-guided acupotomy in the treatment of trigger finger, but this still needs to be verified by a clinical stan...
Cost and compliance are 2 factors that can significantly affect the outcomes of non-operative and operative treatment of trigger finger (TF) and both may be influenced by social factors. The purpose o...
Adult patients (≥18 years old) were identified using International Classification of Diseases 9 and 10 Clinical Modification diagnostic codes for TF and Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) procedural...
Of the 31 411 TF patients analyzed, 8941 (28.5%) underwent surgery. Logistic regression analysis showed higher odds of receiving surgery in females (odds ratio [OR]: 1.108) and those with workers comp...
There are disparities in demographic characteristics among those who receive TF release for trigger finger related to race, primary insurance, and social deprivation....
The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of single and multiple corticosteroid injections used for symptomatic trigger finger. The rates of subsequent injections and the rate of tendon sh...
A retrospective review of a national healthcare database was conducted identifying patients with a diagnosis of trigger finger or thumb. Inclusion required a tendon sheath injection on the same day or...
Thirty-one thousand seven hundred fifty-one patients met inclusion criteria and underwent an initial injection within the study period. The efficacy of initial, second, and third injection was 66.3%, ...
Overall corticosteroid injections were effective in greater than 65% of patients. This information may help guide treatment practice because there seems to be continued additional benefit to repeat co...
