Ultrasound-guided vs. non-guided trigger finger release: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: Trigger finger (TF) is a common hand condition that can be treated with surgery. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess whether ultrasound-guided (US-guided) percutaneous surgery is superior to other conventional surgical methods.

Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search in Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Library to identify relevant studies.
