| Abstract | ||
| INTRODUCTION Stenosing tenosynovitis, or more commonly "trigger finger" is a disease that can impact a patient's quality of life. Its incidence is said to be 28 persons per 100,000 annually, with an estimated lifetime risk of 2.6% in the general population and 10% in the diabetic patients Non-operative therapy includes rest, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, physiotherapy, splinting, extracorporeal shock wave and local injections. The injection of long-acting corticosteroid into the flexor tendon sheath is a common treatment option for trigger digits. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is considered as a biologic autologous blood-derived product. It has an effective role in treatment of trigger finger. Surgical treatment includes percutaneous or open A1 pulley release of the flexor tendon. Surgical release is considered an effective and definitive treatment option. AIM OF THE WORK The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of Platelets Rich Plasma versus Corticosteroids local injection in patients with stenosing tenosynovitis. | ||
