How to Inject Steroids for Trigger Finger TUTORIAL





One for my trainees in General Practice

Easy to do, 

Use an orange needle. Always use local anaesthetic. 

In my opinion, target the nodule and you can feel the nodule disperse very often. get the to bend it while the needle is in to ensure you have just the right point.

Often once the nodule disperses, results can be immediate.

I would only do it twice at most and refer on to Hand surgeons.
