“…Similarly high success rate were recorded by Freiberg et al 93% [6], Cecen et al 83% [18] and Clark et al 83% [24]. Other studies have demonstrated lower success rates (Shakeel et al 70% [19], Kolind-Sorensenb 67% [3], DalaAli et al 66% [21], Murphy et al 64% [13], Rhoades et al 63% [25], Taras et al 62% [23], Lambert et al 60% [12], Maneerit et al 47% [14]).

“…Different conservative modalities have been recommended as treatment of trigger fingers like NSAIDs, splinting and injection of steroids with success rates of 57-97% [11,12,13,15,16,17]. We have conducted this study to find the effectiveness of corticosteroid injection in our context.…”

Background and Objectives: Trigger finger is a condition that causes triggering, snapping or locking on flexion of the involved digit. Treatment modalities are conservative (Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, splints or corticosteroid injections) or operative (percutaneous or open release of A1 pulley- the first annular pulley of the fibro-osseous sheath of the fingers situated at the level of the metacarpophalengeal joint). The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of corticosteroid injection for trigger finger in adults.Material and Methods: Fifty patients with 54 trigger digits were treated by one or two injections of methylprednisolone acetate with 1% lignocaine. Patients were followed-up for a period of 6 months.Results: Symptoms and signs resolved in 79.63% of the injected digits. Local adverse reactions to steroid injection- pain at the injection site and steroid flare were self-limiting. There was no tendon rupture or post-injection infection.Conclusion: The study concludes that steroid injection is an effective first line treatment for trigger finger in most patients.Janaki Medical College Journal of Medical Sciences (2017) Vol. 5(2): 13-18

“…Moderate evidence has been found for the effectiveness of steroid injections in comparison to placebo in the short term (one to four weeks), but not in the mid-and long-term. Figures of 36% resolution at one week 236 , 71% at three weeks 237 and 60% resolution at four weeks 238 are presented.…”
