Effectiveness of corticosteroid injection in treatment of trigger fingers: a double blinded randomized clinical trial
- Conditions
- Trigger finger (stenosing tenosynovitis) is one of the most common conditions seen by hand surgeons,Although not a severe disease, trigger fingers give disabling complaints in performance of work and ADL activities. The triggering is caused by a size mismatch between the first annular pulley (A1) and the corresponding flexor tendon sheath, but the precise etiology still remains unclear.2-4 Most often, trigger fingers do not resolve spontaneously and need some kind of treatment.Therapeutic area: Diseases [C] - Musculoskeletal Diseases [C05]
