One hundred and eighty patients with 240 trigger digits were treated by percutaneous release using a 'lift-cut' technique. All patients were reviewed at 3 months following release. Overall, 94% achieved an excellent or good result. Ten patients experienced recurrent symptoms and required a subsequent open release. There was no clinical evidence of digital nerve or flexor tendon injury. We recommend this technique as a safe and effective outpatient procedure.
