Area of Science:

Orthopedic Surgery
Hand Surgery
Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

Trigger finger surgery is a common procedure.
Open release has potential complications like infection, stiffness, and nerve injury.
A1 pulley release is key for treating trigger finger.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce a novel single-incision endoscopic trigger finger release technique.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of this new approach.
To compare outcomes with traditional open surgery.

Main Methods:

A single-incision endoscopic technique was developed.
The incision was relocated to the palmar-digital crease.
The procedure focused on A1 pulley release.

Main Results:

The novel technique resulted in less pain and scarring.
Reduced stiffness was observed post-procedure.
The approach is technically simple and fast.

Conclusions:

The single-incision endoscopic technique offers a promising alternative for trigger finger release.
This method may decrease complications associated with open surgery.
Further studies are warranted to confirm long-term outcomes.
