Frontal and lateral radiographs obtained immediately after injection were independently assessed by three observers to classify the spread of the solution as intra-sheath, mixed intra-and extra-sheath, or solely extra-sheath.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>All 20 digits demonstrated intra-sheath spread of the solution. Thirteen digits showed mixed intra- and extra-sheath distribution, and seven digits demonstrated isolated intra-sheath spread. In eight digits, the solution extended throughout the entire tendon sheath from the palm to the level of the distal phalanx. No cases of isolated extra-sheath injection were observed. Fourteen digits reported total relief of symptoms within 6\u2009weeks. Median number of days to total symptom alleviation was 7 for pain, 8 for triggering and 9 for stiffness. The use of analgesics was low, and 11 patients took none.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Transtendinous injection at the level of the proximal phalanx provides reliable deposition of corticosteroid within the tendon sheath, supporting its use as an acceptable technique for treating trigger finger.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Level of evidence:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>III prospective cohort study<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/17531934261460230","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,2]],"date-time":"2026-07-02T06:17:38Z","timestamp":1782973058000},"page":"1351-1356","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Transtendinous corticosteroid with contrast injection in trigger finger: a radiological and clinical study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"51","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5715-1406","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hasan","family":"Bitar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Clinical Sciences, Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg, Sweden"},{"name":"Department of Surgery and Orthopaedics, Alings\u00e5s Lasarett, Alings\u00e5s, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Johanna","family":"Bergman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Alings\u00e5s Lasarett, Alings\u00e5s, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anders","family":"Bj\u00f6rkman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Clinical Sciences, Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg, Sweden"},{"name":"Department of Hand Surgery, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Gothenburg, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joakim","family":"Str\u00f6mberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Clinical Sciences, Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg, Sweden"},{"name":"Department of Surgery and Orthopaedics, Alings\u00e5s Lasarett, Alings\u00e5s, Sweden"},{"name":"Department of Hand Surgery, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Gothenburg, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_1","article-title":"Development of the QuickDASH: comparison of three item-reduction approaches","volume":"87","author":"Beaton DE","year":"2005","unstructured":"Beaton DE, Wright JG, Katz JN Upper Extremity Collaborative Group.
