Summary

This study compares two surgical methods for treating trigger finger, a condition where a finger gets stuck in a bent position due to tendon inflammation. The standard technique (longitudinal opening) has a recurrence rate of about 7.7%, while the newer technique (complete pulley release) may lower that rate. Researchers will enroll 236 adults to see which surgery leads to fewer recurrences and better pain and movement outcomes one year after the procedure.
