Abstract Background: Trigger finger, also known as stenosing tenosynovitis, is a common disorder characterized by catching, snapping, or locking of the involved finger that leads to limitation of finger range of motion, pain, and difficulty gripping objects. Aim of the Work: To compare A1 pulley resection versus release regarding the clinical outcomes, complications and recurrence rate. Patients and Methods: This study investigated the outcomes of compare A1 pulley resection versus release for the treatment of trigger finger. The results showed that both techniques resulted in high therapeutic efficacy when the rate of recurrence and patient satisfaction were considered as primary outcome measures. Results: Both techniques resulted in high therapeutic efficacy when the rate of recurrence and patient satisfaction were considered as primary outcome measures. Conclusion 60 CONCLUSION According to this study; there was no statistically significant difference between the studied groups in the term of postoperative pain, postoperative residual triggering, duration until return to work and Postoperative complications. According to this study; there was statistically significant difference between the studied groups in the term of the recurrence of triggering of operated finger, as no recurrence reported in group B patients while 4.3% of group A patients. According to this study; Trigger finger can be successfully managed by either A1 pulley resection or trigger release. However, A1 pulley resection offers advantages for diabetic patients. |
