2023, Journal of Drug Delivery Science and Technology[Translated article] Out-of-sheath corticosteroid injections through the dorsal webspace for trigger finger and trigger thumb. A prospective cohort study
2022, Revista Espanola de Cirugia Ortopedica y TraumatologiaCitation Excerpt :The goal of treatment is to restore smooth, painless gliding of the tendons and full range of motion in the affected finger. Trigger fingers can be effectively and efficiently treated by steroid injections,3–8 but pain experienced by the patient is an ever-present side effect. Few studies have assessed patient-perceived pain during trigger finger injections, but the score seems to vary depending on the injection technique.9–13
A Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of Corticosteroid Injections and Open Surgical Release for Trigger Finger
2020, Journal of Hand SurgeryCitation Excerpt :In other words, if the cost of performing open surgical release in the clinic setting is below a certain threshold, immediate surgery would be cost-effective, assuming such procedures incur complication rates similar to those performed in the operating room. Although most previous studies reported steroid injection success rates above 47% for the first injection and over 23% for the second injection,21–27 the probability of success for the third injection is more controversial; reports range from 0% to 75%.5,11,25,27–29 Interestingly, more recent studies with larger cohort sizes tend to report higher rates of success for the third injection.5,29
Effectiveness of Conservative, Surgical, and Postsurgical Interventions for Trigger Finger, Dupuytren Disease, and De Quervain Disease: A Systematic Review
2018, Archives of Physical Medicine and RehabilitationCitation Excerpt :Two low-quality RCTs (n=63) that both compared the effects of local corticosteroid injection plus lidocaine injection with lidocaine injection alone were included.21,22 Murphy et al21 studied betamethasone and lidocaine for the treatment group and lidocaine for the control group in the short and midterm; Lambert et al22 used methylprednisolone and lidocaine for the treatment group and lidocaine for the control group in the short term. The meta-analysis on treatment success showed significant differences in favor of local corticosteroid injections (relative risk, 3.15; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.34–7.40) at 4-week follow-up.
