Purpose: This study aimed to report pain during and following injection for trigger finger as well as failure to resolve triggering. We hypothesized that a corticosteroid injection alone would be equally or less painful compared with the standard combination of corticosteroid and lidocaine for the treatment of trigger fingers, and there would be no difference in the resolution of triggering.
Methods: Our study was a prospective, single-blinded, randomized controlled trial at a single institution, comprising 76 patients with a diagnosis of trigger finger.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on medial epicondylitis, a condition affecting athletes, particularly those involved in throwing and golfing, and explored surgical options after nonsurgical treatments fail.
- Researchers dissected six cadaver elbows to measure the locations and sizes of the common flexor tendons and the medial collateral ligament (MCL) in relation to the medial epicondyle.
- The findings provided a detailed map of the common flexor tendon origins and their dimensions, helping surgeons safely navigate the tissue during surgery without damaging the MCL.
