The management of trigger fingers: commentary and personal opinion

Abstract

Trigger fingers are common. Although the options for management are well-described, including conservative measures such as steroid injection, or surgical options such as open or percutaneous release, there remains variations in the way these are administered. In addition, there is a recent emphasis on patient-reported outcome measures in this condition. The purpose of this further knowledge article is to look at three recently published articles to gather some evidence about best practice in the management of this painful but common condition.
