| Abstract | ||
| The current study's goal was to determine the effectiveness of a percutaneous approach for evaluating the effects of surgical trigger finger release. During flexion or extension, hypertrophy at the junction of the tendon with the tendon pulley hinders normal forward and backward movement of the tendon beneath the pulley. This results in an abrupt locking of the finger. Many trigger and locking events throughout the day, if accompanied with carpal tunnel release; many trigger fingers in the same or both hands; and, if percutaneous release was persuaded in the patient on the first appointment. After at least one prior corticosteroid injection, the research comprised twenty patients at Benha University Hospital and Zifta general hospital with a total of 23 trigger fingers with chronic symptoms. The trigger fingers of three individuals were found to be on both hands. According to Tanaka et al., the overall outcomes at the conclusion of the trial were outstanding in 17 patients (85%), good in 2 patients (10%), and bad in 1 patient (5%). (5 percent ). (95 percent) of the 19 individuals had good outcomes; just one patient had a negative outcome (5 percent ). The percutaneous release of trigger finger is a safe, straightforward, and effective alternative to open surgical release, with outcomes that are comparable | ||
