Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Intra-sheath versus extra-sheath ultrasound guided corticosteroid injection for trigger finger: a triple blinded randomized clinical trial.
The aim of this study is to compare clinical results of ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injection, intra-sheath versus extra-sheath of the finger flexor tendon. ⋯ Results of corticosteroid injection intra-sheath or extra-sheath of the finger flexor tendon under ultrasound guidance in patients with trigger finger are comparably alike. Extra-sheath injection at the level of A1 pulley is as effective as an Intra-sheath administration.

Shoulder arthroscopy has increased in frequency over the past decade, with rotator cuff repair comprising the majority of cases performed. Prior studies have detailed risk factors for 30-day complications and readmission rates after arthroscopic shoulder surgery using the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database, but no study has specifically looked at arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the risk factors for 30-day complications following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair using the NSQIP database. ⋯ IV.
