Summary

This study looked at 80 adults with trigger finger to compare two standard surgical treatments: cutting the A1 pulley versus removing it. The goal was to see which method leads to less pain, stiffness, and recurrence. Participants were followed for one year after surgery, and their pain was measured using a simple 0-to-10 scale.
