View clinical trials related to Trigger Finger Disorder.
Filter by:The investigators will prospectively evaluate for the presence of amyloid deposits in soft tissue samples obtained from patients undergoing trigger finger release surgery. Patients who have tissue that stains positive for amyloid will be referred to an amyloidosis specialist.
The purpose of this study is to compare recovery, scar, and patient satisfaction after retrograde endoscopic trigger finger release versus the standard open surgical treatment.
We are conducting this study to determine if administration of local anesthetic to the thumb prior to surgery can reduce the amount of anesthetic gas given during the course of surgery.
Patients with common hand conditions will be randomized to one of two groups- one will receive a question prompt list, the other will receive a list of 3 questions
Trigger finger is a common disorder of the hand which causes pain at the A1 pulley, inflammation, stiffness and/or snapping during movement. This observational study compared all of the possible treatments and combinations of treatments for trigger finger at the A1 pulley, including surgery, cortisone injections and hand therapy.
To study the pain experience of trigger finger steroid injection with 26 gauge needle as compared to 23 gauge needle.
Does a difference in patient satisfaction and cosmetic outcome exist between wound closure with absorbable or non-absorbable sutures.
Patients will be asked to use a mobile phone app to conduct their hand therapy after having hand surgery.
Trigger finger, also known as trigger digit or stenosing tenovaginitis, is caused by a size mismatch between the flexor tendon and the A1 pulley, which is generally characterized by pain, swelling, the limitation of finger range of motion and a symptomatic locking or clicking sensation. Conservative treatment options include the application of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), physiotherapy, electrotherapy, splinting and corticosteroid injection but not always effective with regard to frequent recurrence. Open surgical release of the A1 pulley remains the gold standard of treating symptomatic trigger finger. While percutaneous release is a minimal invasive alternative and gaining popularity for the index, middle ring and little fingers, investigations for the surgical efficacy on thumb is few and far between. Investigators believe that a carefully conducted operation with proper positioning of the thumb, wide-awake approach and meticulous technique can achieve similar efficacy and safety in terms of possibly less intraoperative pain, imperceptible scar and early return to daily activities and routine work. The hypothesis of this study is that by using a proper positioning of thumb, wide awake approach and meticulous technique in conducting percutaneous release of trigger thumb can achieve similar efficacy and safety compared to that of open release surgical method. Moreover, percutaneous release of trigger thumb can generate less intraoperative pain, imperceptible scar and promote early return to routine work. Hence, the objective of this study is to investigate and compare the safety, effectiveness and outcome of percutaneous release versus traditional open release for trigger thumbs.
The main objective is to assess patient's satisfaction regarding pure local anaesthesia and without use of a tourniquet (WALANT Technique) for trigger finger release surgery.
