Trigger Finger Risk-of-Recurrence Calculator

The Trigger Finger Risk of Recurrence Calculator estimates the chance of recurrence of a trigger finger after corticosteroid injection within one year. The risk calculator uses patient information regarding the patients current medical history and the location of the trigger finger.

This calculator was created using data from a large national insurance claims database (PearlDiver) using data from 2014 to 2020. Of note, the Trigger Finger Risk of Recurrence Calculator only provides an estimate of the risk percentages. This calculator takes several factors into account, but there may be other factors that were not included to estimate the risk of recurrence, which could either increase or decrease the risk of trigger finger recurrence after corticosteroid injection.

This estimation is not a guarantee of results. Even if the risk of recurrence of a trigger finger is low, a recurrence may still occur. The information on the risk of recurrence of a trigger finger that this calculator provides is not intended to replace advice from a healthcare professional. This calculator was created for research purposes, and the creators of this calculator are not responsible for any medical decisions made based on the outcomes of this calculator. Patients should always consult their healthcare providers prior to any decisions on treatment plan.
