AAOS: Treating trigger finger with 2 steroid injections increases risk of surgery .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
A Prospective Randomized Study Comparing One versus Two Injections for Stenosing Tenosynovitis
101 patients with stenosing tenosynovitis (trigger finger) symptoms were randomized to receive either one corticosteroid injection or two corticosteroid injections, in order to determine the optimal number of injections needed to treat this condition effectively. Following assessments over a 1 year period, results indicated that one and two injections both provided similar relief from symptoms. However, it was noted at one year that patients who received two injections had a significantly higher rate of surgery than patients who received one injection.
