[Good results with the surgical treatment of trigger finger (tendovaginitis stenosans)].
Stenosing tendovaginitis (trigger finger) may be treated surgically or conservatively. Surgical incision of the proximal part of the flexor tendon sheath in 100 patients (91 adults and 9 children) proved a reliable method. In 97 patients the resistance was abolished by surgical treatment, with good functional results. It is a simple procedure, with hardly any complications and a short follow-up period.
