Abstract:
PURPOSE:To evaluate the condition of the tendons and neurovascular bundles after percutaneous release for trigger finger of the middle, ring, and little fingers. METHODS:30 women and 13 men aged 20 to 55 (mean, 40) years underwent percutaneous release of the A1 pulley using a 18-gauge needle for 43 trigger fingers of the middle, ring, or little finger unresponsive to conservative treatment. 19 trigger fingers were grade II and 24 were grade III. Open exploration was performed to evaluate the condition of the tendons and neurovascular bundles after percutaneous release. RESULTS:Incomplete release of the A1 pulley was noted in 3 fingers, which occurred during the early study period. Superficial flexor tendon laceration was noted in 6 fingers but this did not interfere with tendon function. No injury to the A2 pulley, nerve, or artery of any finger was noted. CONCLUSION:Percutaneous release of trigger fingers is quick, safe, and effective.
