Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Hand Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Trigger finger is a prevalent hand disorder.
  • Current treatments include open and percutaneous surgical methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the mid-term outcomes of percutaneous trigger finger release.
  • To compare percutaneous techniques with open surgery for trigger finger treatment.

Main Methods:

  • 48 patients with chronic trigger finger underwent percutaneous release using a 14-gauge needle.
  • A control group of 20 patients had open surgery for comparison.
  • Patients were followed for an average of 30 months post-procedure.

Main Results:

  • Complete resolution of pain and finger locking was observed post-procedure.

  • Percutaneous release demonstrated successful pulley release, similar to open surgery.
  • Only two patients experienced minor abrasions, with no tendon injuries or major complications reported in either group.

    • Conclusions:

    • Percutaneous trigger finger release is an effective and convenient treatment.
    • The technique offers a low complication rate, making it a preferable alternative to open surgery.
    • Cost-effectiveness further supports percutaneous surgery as a viable option.
