Summary
Percutaneous release is a safe and effective treatment for trigger fingers, including those affecting multiple digits. This minimally invasive procedure shows high success rates with minimal complications for all patients.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Hand Surgery
- Minimally Invasive Procedures
Background:
- Trigger finger affects single or multiple digits, impacting hand function.
- Percutaneous release is a treatment option for trigger finger.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the safety and efficacy of percutaneous release for trigger finger.
- To compare outcomes in patients with single versus multiple digit involvement.
Main Methods:
- 100 patients (131 fingers) underwent percutaneous release.
- Patients were divided into single (Group A) and multiple (Group B) digit involvement groups.
- Follow-up was conducted for one year, assessing success, pain, and complications.
Main Results:
- Successful treatment with no recurrence in all patients over one year.
- No complications were observed in either group.
- Significant differences noted in postoperative pain duration and analgesic use between groups.
Conclusions:
- Percutaneous release is a safe and effective treatment for trigger finger, regardless of single or multiple digit involvement.
- The procedure is also safe for thumb, index finger, and diabetic patients.
- Minimally invasive approach offers a viable solution for complex trigger finger cases.
