Dorsal Approach for Corticosteroid Injection in Trigger Finger Management: A Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Stenosing tenosynovitis (trigger finger) is a common condition caused by inflammation and hypertrophy of flexor tendons. Corticosteroid injection (CSI) is an effective and safe treatment option. A palmar approach for CSI is typically used; however dorsal injection, which may be less painful, is not well-studied. Methods: A 6-stage scoping review was conducted to characterize outcomes associated with dorsal CSI for trigger finger management. We searched Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Web of Science for eligible articles in English from inception to July 2024. Data regarding study characteristics and CSI outcomes were synthesized. Risk of bias was assessed using Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Tools. Results: Four articles were included in the review,
