Percutaneous release of the trigger thumb: is it safe, cheap and effective? (1/32)
Percutaneous release of the trigger finger and trigger thumb has recently gained popularity. The aim of this study was to determine the clinical results and safety of percutaneous release in trigger thumbs. Twenty-five thumbs of 21 patients were released percutaneously in the polyclinic under local anaesthesia. Steroid injection was performed following the release procedure using the same needle. The thumb function was evaluated by a patient questionnaire, and functional thumb scores (VAS) were calculated in the preoperative and postoperative periods. At the 1 week follow-up, four patients had signs of discomfort and triggering because of incomplete release. These patients underwent open A1 pulley release. Three superficial tendon lacerations were seen during these open procedures. There were no wound complications or signs of digital nerve or artery injury in any of the patients. The preoperative mean VAS was 26.62 (18-36). This decreased to 2.57 (0-5) at the first postoperative month (P<0.001) and to 2.19 (0-3; P<0.001) at the sixth month. When the VAS scores at the first and sixth months were compared, the difference was statistically significant. We concluded that percutaneous release of trigger thumbs is a cheap, safe and effective procedure with a low rate of complications.

We describe a Japanese family with transthyretin Val107-related familial amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP). The clinical features were high-aged onset, sensorimotor polyneuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and trigger finger. In addition, the proband showed cardiac conduction block and amyloid deposition in the sural nerve and dermis. Trigger finger may be a so far unknown clinical manifestation of Val107 FAP due to amyloid deposition in the connective tissue like CTS. (+info)Sonographic appearance of trigger fingers. (3/32)
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to describe the sonographic appearance of the first annular (A1) pulley-flexor tendon complex in patients with trigger fingers. METHODS: Thirty-three trigger fingers in 33 patients were examined with a 7- to 15-MHz probe. A control group consisted of 20 patients without trigger fingers. The study included systematic measurement of the thickness of the A1 pulley and a power Doppler assessment of the pulleys, tendons, and tendon sheaths. RESULTS: Thickening and hypoechogenicity of the A1 pulley were found in all patients with trigger fingers. Measurements of A1 pulley thickness were significantly different (P < .0001) between the groups without trigger fingers (mean, 0.5 mm; range, 0.4-0.6 mm) and with trigger fingers (mean, 1.8 mm; range, 1.1-2.9 mm). Hypervascularization of the A1 pulley on power Doppler imaging was found in 91% of the trigger fingers but was never found in the healthy control group. Flexor tendinosis was found in 48% of the trigger fingers; tenosynovitis was found in 55%; and both were found in 39%. In the control group, tenosynovitis and tendinosis were not found. CONCLUSIONS: Thickening and hyper-vascularization of the A1 pulley are the hallmarks of trigger fingers on sonography. Other frequently observed features include distal flexor tendinosis and tenosynovitis. (+info)ICF components of corresponding outcome measures in flexor tendon rehabilitation - a systematic review.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to develop an ultrasound-guided first annular (A1) pulley injection technique for trigger finger with documentation of outcomes at 1 year. METHODS: We performed a short-axis injection into a triangle bordered by the A1 pulley, the flexor digitorum superficialis and profundus tendons and volar plate, and the distal metacarpal bone with a 10-mg median dose of triamcinolone acetonide and 2% lidocaine. This was a prospective study of 50 of 52 consecutive trigger fingers from 24 patients recruited from a physical medicine and rehabilitation private practice. RESULTS: All patients were available for follow-up, with 94% (47 of 50) of fingers having complete resolution of symptoms at 6 months, 90% (37 of 41) at 1 year, 65% (17 of 26) at 18 months, and 71% (12 of 17) at 3 years after a single injection. CONCLUSIONS: Our ultrasound-guided A1 pulley injection technique is a highly effective and minimally invasive treatment option for trigger finger with a 90% success rate at 1 year for complete resolution of symptoms after a single injection. Assuming similar patient populations, our results were statistically significant (P < .01) compared with the 56% to 57% success rates recently reported for blind injections. (+info)Corticosteroid injections for trigger finger. (8/32)
BACKGROUND: Trigger finger is a disease of the tendons of the hand leading to triggering (locking) of affected fingers, dysfunction, and pain. Available treatments include local injection with corticosteroids, surgery, or splinting. OBJECTIVES: To summarize the evidence on the effectiveness and safety of corticosteroid injections for trigger finger in adults using the following endpoints: treatment success, frequency of triggering or locking, functional status of the affected fingers, and severity of pain of the fingers. SEARCH STRATEGY: The databases CENTRAL, DARE, Medline (1966 to November 2007), EMBASE (1956 to November 2007), CINAHL (1982 to November 2007), AMED (1985 to November 2007), and PEDro (a physiotherapy evidence database) were searched. SELECTION CRITERIA: The authors selected randomized and controlled clinical trials evaluating effectiveness and safety of corticosteroid injections for trigger finger in adults. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: The databases were searched for titles of eligible studies. After screening abstracts of these studies, full text articles of studies that fulfilled the selection criteria were obtained. Data were extracted using a predefined electronic form. The methodologic quality of included trials was assessed by using items from the checklist developed by Jadad and the Delphi list. The authors planned to extract data regarding information on the primary outcome measures: treatment success, frequency of triggering or locking, functional impairment of fingers, and severity of the trigger finger; and the secondary outcome measures: proportion of patients with side effects, types of side effects, and patient satisfaction with injection. MAIN RESULTS: Two randomized controlled studies were found that involved 63 participants: 34 were allocated to corticosteroids and lidocaine (Xylocaine), and 29 were allocated to lidocaine alone. Corticosteroid injection with lidocaine was more effective than lidocaine alone on treatment success at four weeks (relative risk = 3.15; 95% confidence interval, 1.34 to 7.40). The number needed to treat to benefit was 3. No adverse events or side effects were reported. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS: The effectiveness of local corticosteroid injections was studied in only two small randomized controlled trials of poor methodologic quality. Both studies showed better short-term effects of corticosteroid injection combined with lidocaine compared with lidocaine alone on the treatment success outcome. In one study, the effects of corticosteroid injections lasted up to four months. No adverse effects were observed. The available evidence for the effectiveness of intratendon sheath corticosteroid injection for trigger finger can be graded as a silver level evidence for superiority of corticosteroid injections combined with lidocaine over injections with lidocaine alone. (+info)Trigger finger, also known as stenosing tenosynovitis, is a condition where one of the fingers or thumbs becomes stuck in a bent position and then straightens with a snap, much like pulling and releasing the trigger on a gun. The ring finger is most commonly affected, but it can occur in other fingers and thumbs as well.
In this disorder, the tendon sheath that surrounds the flexor tendons in the finger becomes inflamed and thickened, making it difficult for the tendon to glide smoothly through it. This results in the finger catching or locking in a bent position, which can be painful to straighten out.
The exact cause of trigger finger is not always known, but it is more common in women than men, and people with certain medical conditions such as diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis are at higher risk. Treatment options may include rest, splinting, medication, or surgery, depending on the severity of the condition.
In medical terms, fingers are not specifically defined as they are common anatomical structures. However, I can provide you with a general anatomy definition:
Fingers are the terminal parts of the upper limb in primates, including humans, consisting of four digits (thumb, index, middle, and ring fingers) and one opposable thumb. They contain bones called phalanges, connected by joints that allow for movement and flexibility. Each finger has a nail, nerve endings for sensation, and blood vessels to supply nutrients and oxygen. Fingers are crucial for various activities such as grasping, manipulating objects, and tactile exploration of the environment.
Tenosynovitis is a medical condition characterized by inflammation of the lining (synovium) surrounding a tendon, which is a cord-like structure that attaches muscle to bone. This inflammation can cause pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the affected joint. Tenosynovitis often affects the hands, wrists, feet, and ankles, and it can result from various causes, including infection, injury, overuse, or autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis. Prompt diagnosis and treatment of tenosynovitis are essential to prevent complications such as tendon rupture or chronic pain.
A ganglion cyst is a type of fluid-filled sac that commonly develops on the back of the wrist, hands, or fingers. These cysts usually contain a clear, jelly-like material and are connected to a joint or tendon sheath. The exact cause of ganglion cysts is unknown, but they may form as a result of repetitive trauma or degeneration of the joint tissue.
Ganglion cysts can vary in size from small (pea-sized) to large (golf ball-sized). They are usually painless, but if they press on a nerve, they can cause tingling, numbness, or discomfort. In some cases, ganglion cysts may resolve on their own without treatment, while others may require medical intervention such as aspiration (draining the fluid) or surgical removal.
"Intralesional injection" is a medical term that refers to the administration of a medication directly into a lesion or skin abnormality, such as a tumor, cyst, or blister. This technique is used to deliver the medication directly to the site of action, allowing for higher local concentrations and potentially reducing systemic side effects. Common examples include the injection of corticosteroids into inflamed tissues to reduce swelling and pain, or the injection of chemotherapeutic agents directly into tumors to shrink them.
A finger joint, also known as an articulation, is the point where two bones in a finger connect and allow for movement. The majority of finger joints are classified as hinge joints, permitting flexion and extension movements. These joints consist of several components:
1. Articular cartilage: Smooth tissue that covers the ends of the bones, enabling smooth movement and protecting the bones from friction.
2. Joint capsule: A fibrous sac enclosing the joint, providing stability and producing synovial fluid for lubrication.
3. Synovial membrane: Lines the inner surface of the joint capsule and produces synovial fluid to lubricate the joint.
4. Volar plate (palmar ligament): A strong band of tissue located on the palm side of the joint, preventing excessive extension and maintaining alignment.
5. Collateral ligaments: Two bands of tissue located on each side of the joint, providing lateral stability and limiting radial and ulnar deviation.
6. Flexor tendons: Tendons that attach to the bones on the palmar side of the finger joints, facilitating flexion movements.
7. Extensor tendons: Tendons that attach to the bones on the dorsal side of the finger joints, enabling extension movements.
Finger joints are essential for hand function and enable activities such as grasping, holding, writing, and manipulating objects.
A tendon is the strong, flexible band of tissue that connects muscle to bone. It helps transfer the force produced by the muscle to allow various movements of our body parts. Tendons are made up of collagen fibers arranged in parallel bundles and have a poor blood supply, making them prone to injuries and slow to heal. Examples include the Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscle to the heel bone, and the patellar tendon, which connects the kneecap to the shinbone.
Zinc fingers are a type of protein structural motif involved in specific DNA binding and, by extension, in the regulation of gene expression. They are so named because of their characteristic "finger-like" shape that is formed when a zinc ion binds to the amino acids within the protein. This structure allows the protein to interact with and recognize specific DNA sequences, thereby playing a crucial role in various biological processes such as transcription, repair, and recombination of genetic material.
De Quervain disease, also known as De Quervain tenosynovitis, is a medical condition that affects the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist. It is characterized by the inflammation and thickening of the sheath that surrounds these tendons, leading to pain and difficulty in moving the thumb and wrist.
The exact cause of De Quervain disease is not known, but it is often associated with repetitive hand or wrist movements, especially those that involve twisting or gripping. It can also occur after an injury to the wrist or thumb. The condition is more common in middle-aged women, and may be related to hormonal changes during pregnancy or menopause.
The symptoms of De Quervain disease include pain and tenderness on the thumb side of the wrist, which may worsen with movement or gripping activities. There may also be swelling and a creaking or crackling sensation when moving the thumb and wrist. Diagnosis is typically made based on the patient's symptoms and a physical examination, although imaging tests such as ultrasound or MRI may be used to confirm the diagnosis.
Treatment for De Quervain disease usually involves resting the affected area, avoiding activities that aggravate the symptoms, and using ice packs to reduce swelling. In some cases, immobilization with a splint or brace may be recommended to allow the tendons to heal. Anti-inflammatory medications or corticosteroid injections may also be used to reduce pain and inflammation. Surgery may be considered if other treatments are not effective.
The wrist joint, also known as the radiocarpal joint, is a condyloid joint that connects the distal end of the radius bone in the forearm to the proximal row of carpal bones in the hand (scaphoid, lunate, and triquetral bones). It allows for flexion, extension, radial deviation, and ulnar deviation movements of the hand. The wrist joint is surrounded by a capsule and reinforced by several ligaments that provide stability and strength to the joint.
Tendon injuries, also known as tendinopathies, refer to the damage or injury of tendons, which are strong bands of tissue that connect muscles to bones. Tendon injuries typically occur due to overuse or repetitive motion, causing micro-tears in the tendon fibers. The most common types of tendon injuries include tendinitis, which is inflammation of the tendon, and tendinosis, which is degeneration of the tendon's collagen.
Tendon injuries can cause pain, swelling, stiffness, and limited mobility in the affected area. The severity of the injury can vary from mild discomfort to severe pain that makes it difficult to move the affected joint. Treatment for tendon injuries may include rest, ice, compression, elevation (RICE) therapy, physical therapy, medication, or in some cases, surgery. Preventing tendon injuries involves warming up properly before exercise, using proper form and technique during physical activity, gradually increasing the intensity and duration of workouts, and taking regular breaks to rest and recover.
A medical definition of the wrist is the complex joint that connects the forearm to the hand, composed of eight carpal bones arranged in two rows. The wrist allows for movement and flexibility in the hand, enabling us to perform various activities such as grasping, writing, and typing. It also provides stability and support for the hand during these movements. Additionally, numerous ligaments, tendons, and nerves pass through or near the wrist, making it susceptible to injuries and conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome.

Tendon14
- Trigger finger is locking of a finger in a bent position caused by inflammation of a tendon in the finger. (msdmanuals.com)
- Normally, the tendon moves smoothly in and out of its surrounding sheath as the finger straightens and bends. (msdmanuals.com)
- In trigger finger, the inflamed tendon can move out of the sheath as the finger bends. (msdmanuals.com)
- However, when the tendon is very swollen, it cannot easily move back in as the finger tries to straighten, and therefore the finger locks. (msdmanuals.com)
- and a local anesthetic are injected into the tendon sheath and, along with splinting, may provide safe and temporary but rapid relief of pain and triggering. (msdmanuals.com)
- The triggering more often occurs while gripping an object firmly or during sleep when the palm of the subject's hand remains closed for an extended period of time, presumably because the enlargement of the tendon is maximum when the finger is not being used. (wikipedia.org)
