RESEARCH ON THE SURGICAL TREATMENT OF THE TRIGGER FINGER

Abstract

The current paper presents în detail the defining elements of the etiopathogeny and surgical treatment of the trigger finger. The objective of the study is to identify the particular elements that can influence the post-operative prognosis, as well as to determine the impact they have on the recovery period and the professional integration of patients. The research was based on data obtained from 52 patients who received treatment in 2015-2019. The results of the study show that the surgical treatment of the trigger finger performed by transverse incision at the level of the distal palmar fold with local anesthesia is associated with a very good result from a functional point of view, a low rate of postoperative complications and favorable aesthetic appearance.
