Injection: 70% of patients can be cured with cortisone injection into the sheath. My usual routine is to inject then a month later if any symptoms remain inject again. If symptoms persist/recur then the odds of a third injection curing drops below 5% so i recommend surgery then. I haven't found splinting helpful for adults. Hope this helps:).
