Review

Percutaneous release of trigger fingers.

Open surgery has been indicated as the surgical treatment for trigger finger for many years; however, minimally invasive techniques are replacing conventional methods. Minimally invasive techniques enable early recovery of the patient with minimal damage to soft tissues. The authors’ study showed that levels of effectiveness of open surgical and percutaneous methods were superior to those of the conservative method using corticosteroid based on the cure and reappearance rates of the trigger. Percutaneous pulley release for treating trigger finger is a safe, effective, and minimally invasive surgical alternative.
