Abstract
We read with interest the recently published article entitled "Trigger Finger? Just Shoot!" by Merry et al. We would like to acknowledge the authors for drawing attention to the trigger finger diagnosis and their nice description of its epidemiologic and clinical features.
On the other hand, we disagree with the authors' statement that ultrasound (US) guidance offers no advantage over landmark guidance when injecting the trigger finger. We want to stress significant issues regarding the concept of US-guided injections and preprocedural imaging.
