INTRODUCTION Trigger fingers have been reported in the literature for over a century; yet, the lack of trials comparing open surgery to corticosteroid injection is pronounced. At the initiation of the present study in 2010, no randomized controlled trials could be found comparing open surgery to corticosteroid injection. In the present randomized controlled trial, we plan to compare the efficac...

BACKGROUND Trigger finger is a relatively common clinical entity. The etiology is most often attributable to stenosing tenosynovitis though traumatic cases have been described. When trigger finger is associated with an underlying flexor tendon rupture, previous cases have reported a clear association with overt laceration or previous trauma.

Trigger finger usually presents in children less than 8 years old. It may be associated with anatomic, metabolic, inflammatory, and central nerve disorders. Flexion deformity of the finger is reported as the most frequent presentation...

PurposeThere is no consensus regarding optimal closure for trigger finger release (TFR) surgery. The purpose of this study was to compare the number postoperative visits and complications following TFR with nonabsorbable sutures versus those absorbable skin glue. hypothesis that wound glue will result in fewer visits, while having similar complication rates as sutures.MethodsA retrospective rev...
