Abstract



Purpose


To investigate the adequacy and safety of percutaneous trigger finger release on symptomatic patients.



Methods


Two orthopedic non-hand surgeons performed percutaneous A1 pulley release on the thumb, index, middle, and ring fingers with the use of a 19-gauge needle in 25 fingers of 24 patients. Open inspection was then performed to determine the extent of release and any injury to the surrounding anatomic structures.
