treatment of trigger finger

Trigger finger (TF), also known as stenosing tenosynovitis, is a
rather common condition that causes entrapment of the flexor
tendon at the site of the annular pulley. The accepted first-line
treatment for TF is injection of long-acting corticosteroid in the
involved flexor tendon sheath. This treatment is characterized by
a high success rate and a low level of reported adverse effects in
the literature. We report a case of subcutaneous atrophy after
steroid injection in the treatment of TF.
