Comparing two treatments for trigger finger
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests if an additional step during trigger finger surgery helps prevent the condition from coming back. It compares the standard procedure with a more extensive release to see which one works better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
