Retrospective Evaluation of Patients Who Received Surgery as the First Option in the Treatment of Green Type 3-4 Trigger Finger

Öz

AİM: To evaluate the clinical and functional outcomes of the patients with trigger finger patients who are treated by open surgery method without applying conservative treatment modalities METHODS: Open A1 pulley surgical release under local anesthesia was applied to 67 trigger finger patients ( 45 female, 22 male, mean age 53,82, range 11-81). The mean follow-up was 38,37 months (range 4-76 months). As assosiated pathologies, there were type 2 DM in 14 and chronic renal failure in 1 patients. RESULTS: In 67 patients pain and triggering were found to be treated by open surgical A1 pulley release. No recurrence seen in triggering nodularity. Postoperatively there were no significant neurovascular complications noted CONCLUSION: As similar to literature, we believe that in the treatment of trigger finger with open surgery method is a safe and effective method and also supplies fast return to daily life. We think that the surgery may be the first choice in selected cases.

Green Tip 3-4 Tetik Parmak Tedavisinde İlk Seçenek Olarak Cerrahi Tedavi Uygulanan Hastaların Retrospektif Değerlendirilmesi

Öz

AMAÇ: Konservatif tedavi önerilen fakat hasta uyumsuzluğu nedeniyle konservatif tedavi uygulanmadan açık cerrahi teknik uygulanan tetik parmaklı hastaların klinik ve fonksiyonel sonuçlarını değerlendirmektir. YÖNTEM: Tetik parmak tanılı 67 hastanın ( 45 kadın, 22 erkek; ort. yaş 53,82; dağılım 11-81) parmağına açık insizyonla A1 pulley gevşetme cerrahi tedavisi uygulandı. Hastalar ortalama 38,37 ay (dağılım 4-76 ay) izlendi. İlave patolojiler bakımından, 14 hastada tip 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) ve 2 hastada kronik böbrek yetmezliği bulunmaktaydı BULGULAR: Açık cerrahi ile A1 pulley gevşetme uygulanan 67 parmaktaki ağrı ve takılmanın tamamen geçtiği görüldü. Hiçbir hastada tetiklenme veya nodül oluşumu tekrarlamadı. Olgularda postoperatif nörovasküler komplikasyona rastlanılmadı. SONUÇ: Literatüre benzer olarak tetik parmağın tedavisinde açık cerrahi ile elde edilen gevşetmelerin güvenli, etkili ve günlük yaşama dönmeyi hızlandıran bir yöntem olduğu kanısındayız. Cerrahinin seçili vakalarda ilk tercih olabileceğini düşünmekteyiz.
