Abstract
Trigger finger (TF) is a prevalent hand condition characterized by impaired tendon gliding and pulley thickening, leading to pain and functional limitations. This narrative review explores TF's functional assessment, sonographic findings, and conservative treatments. Tools like the Quinnell Grading System and Jamar Dynamometer effectively quantify severity and function, while ultrasound identifies hypoechoic A1 pulley thickening (> 0.62 mm) and tendon snapping. Conservative treatments, including splinting and tendon gliding exercises, reduce pain by 70% within weeks. Ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injections and percutaneous A1 pulley release improve outcomes with minimal complications. Integrating imaging and personalized therapies optimizes TF management, reducing surgical reliance.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Clinical Ultrasound (JCU) is an international journal dedicated to the worldwide dissemination of scientific information on diagnostic and therapeutic applications of medical sonography.
The scope of the journal includes--but is not limited to--the following areas: sonography of the gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary tract, vascular system, nervous system, head and neck, chest, breast, musculoskeletal system, and other superficial structures; Doppler applications; obstetric and pediatric applications; and interventional sonography. Studies comparing sonography with other imaging modalities are encouraged, as are studies evaluating the economic impact of sonography. Also within the journal''s scope are innovations and improvements in instrumentation and examination techniques and the use of contrast agents.
JCU publishes original research articles, case reports, pictorial essays, technical notes, and letters to the editor. The journal is also dedicated to being an educational resource for its readers, through the publication of review articles and various scientific contributions from members of the editorial board and other world-renowned experts in sonography.
