A Clinical Study to Compare Functional Outcomes After Surgery Using a Transverse or Longitudinal Surgical Incision in the Skin.

Sponsor: Corporacion Parc Tauli

Summary

Trigger finger is a common pathology in the hand. Patients suffer from pain and depending on which tasks, patients have difficulty to perform them. Its treatment in initial and less serious phases includes conservative measures, but failure of these may require releasing the trigger finger with surgery. The surgical technique performed for trigger finger is the opening of the A1 pulley, the skin incisions used for this surgery are various (transverse, longitudinal, oblique). Trigger finger surgery presents good results in terms of resolution, but complications may also occur. The reason for this study is to assess whether there are functional differences using the Dash scale when we perform a transverse or longitudinal incision in trigger finger surgery.
