Özet

Trigger digit is one of the most common causes of pain and disability in the hand. The mainstay of conservative treatment of this disease has been local steroid injection into the tendon sheath. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical benefit of an ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injection compared to a blinded application.
