A minimally invasive percutaneous release effectively treats trigger digits in an outpatient setting. This quick, instrument-free procedure offers excellent patient acceptance and immediate symptom relief with no significant complications observed.

Area of Science:

  • Hand Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures
  • Orthopedics

Background:

  • Trigger digits, a common condition, cause painful catching or locking of the finger.
  • Current treatments may involve surgery or conservative measures with varying success rates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel, safe, and easily performed percutaneous release method for trigger digits.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and patient acceptance of this outpatient procedure.

Main Methods:

  • A simple percutaneous technique was developed for trigger digit release.
  • The procedure requires no special instrumentation and is performed in an outpatient clinic.
  • Thirty-eight procedures were performed.

Main Results:
