Ultrasound-Guided Tri-Directional Needle Knife Release to Treat Trigger Finger in Adults Evaluating Safety, Effectiveness, and Recovery Outcomes

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of a minimally invasive procedure called ultrasound-guided tri-directional needle knife release for patients with trigger finger who have not improved with conservative treatments. Trigger finger occurs due to thickening of the A1 pulley, causing pain, stiffness, and limited hand movement. This study focuses on improving hand function, reducing pain, increasing finger mobility, and overall patient satisfaction. The procedure uses ultrasound guidance for precise and safe dissection of the thickened A1 pulley under local anesthesia with lidocaine and bupivacaine. The device used is the Sonosite M-Turbo Ultrasound Machine with a linear probe for real-time imaging. This treatment aims to minimize risks and improve recovery compared to conventional methods. Participants will be monitored over six months to assess improvements in hand and finger function, pain levels, and finger mobility. Researchers will also track patient satisfaction and any complications related to the procedure. Follow-up visits will ensure proper recovery and evaluate treatment outcomes throughout this period.
