Summary

The study is to compare the effect between steroid injection and Hyaluronic acid in treatment trigger finger. Using sonoguided injection technique achieves more accurate injection location and therapeutic effect. We hypothesize hyaluronic acid has both lubricant and anti-inflammation effect in treatment of trigger finger, and can provide better outcome and lower adverse effect than steroid injection.
