Trigger finger

What splints do you guys prefer, PIP or MCP blocking splints? Does it depend for you if it still clicks/catches?

Our surgeons now want us to also do differential gliding exercises with these patients, but would you keep doing it if they trigger with each rep?

What’s the usual timeline you use splinting and treatment sessions?

Ultrasound

How many therapists out there still use therapeutic ultrasound? I used to use it in a private clinic setting but not anymore at a hospital based outpatient.

Does ultrasound really even work? I felt like it’s always placebo. I hate to admit but there were at least 2x I forgot to turn on the US machine and the patient swear that the treatment made them feel much better after.
