Trigger Finger
Conditions
Brief summary
Our aim in this study; to compare the ultrasound findings seen in trigger finger patients with healthy volunteers. Thus, ultrasound findings associated with trigger finger development will be documented
Detailed description
A1 pulley thickness, flexor tendon thickness, and presence of nodules at the MCP joint level of the trigger finger patients will be recorded. The same measurements will be made in age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers, followed by comparison and analysis.
