Lyu-S-R. J-Bone-Joint-Surg- [m[Br]. 1992 [1mMay [m. 74(3). P 418-20. Closed tenotomy was used to treat triggering of the fingers and thumb in 54 patients. In 56 digits the method was successful; in seven it was a simple matter to proceed to open tenotomy. With experience, the closed procedure can be completed within minutes without risk of damaging the digital nerves. Author-abstract.
