Methods: Whenconservative treatment fails, open release of the A1 pulley isrecommended. Various methods using various instrumentshave been reported. We used 19 gauge microvitreoretinal(MVR) ophthalmic knife in percutaneous release of triggerfinger. Results: We released 50 trigger fingers percutaneously with this knife. Satisfactory results were achieved in 45 of them(90%). Conclusion: Object of this study is to produce a newtechnique for percuta eous release of trigger finger using 19gauge microvitreoretinal (MVR) ophthalmic knife. Conclusion:Satisfactory results were achieved in 45 of them (90%). Level of Evidence: Level IV cases series.
