ABSTRACT

Abstract Trigger finger is a frequent condition. Although tenosynovitis and the alteration of pulley A1 are identified as triggering factors, there is no consensus on the true cause in the literature, and its true etiology remains unknown. The diagnosis is purely clinical most of the time. It depends solely on the existence of finger locking during active bending movement. Trigger finger treatment usually begins with nonsurgical interventions that are instituted for at least 3 months. In patients with initial presentation with flexion deformity or inability to flex the finger, there may be earlier indication of surgical treatment due to pain intensity and functional disability. In the present review article, we will present the modalities and our algorithm for the treatment of trigger finger.


Resumo O dedo em gatilho é uma afecção frequente. Não obstante a tenossinovite e a alteração da polia A1 serem identificados como fatores desencadeantes, não há consenso sobre a verdadeira causa na literatura, sendo que a sua verdadeira etiologia permanece desconhecida. O diagnóstico é puramente clínico na maior parte das vezes. Ele depende unicamente da existência do travamento do dedo no decorrer da movimentação flexão ativa. O tratamento do dedo em gatilho geralmente se inicia com intervenções não cirúrgicas que são instituídas por pelo menos 3 meses. Nos pacientes em quem haja apresentação inicial com deformidade em flexão ou incapacidade de flexão do dedo, pode haver indicação mais precoce do tratamento cirúrgico em razão da intensidade do quadro álgico e da incapacidade funcional do paciente. No presente artigo de revisão, apresentaremos as modalidades e o nosso algoritmo para o tratamento do dedo em gatilho.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective The present paper aims to evaluate the therapeutic planning for trigger finger by Brazilian orthopedists. Methods This is a cross-sectional study with a population composed of participants from the 2018 Brazilian Congress on Orthopedics and Traumatology (CBOT-2018, in the Portuguese acronym), who answered a questionnaire about the conduct adopted for trigger finger diagnosis and treatment. Results A total of 243 participants were analyzed, with an average age of 37.46 years old; most participants were male (88%), with at least 1 year of experience (55.6%) and from Southeast Brazil (68.3%). Questionnaire analysis revealed a consensus on the following issues: diagnosis based on physical examination alone (73.3%), use of the Quinnell classification modified by Green (58.4%), initial nonsurgical treatment (91.4%), infiltration of steroids combined with an anesthetic agent (61.7%), nonsurgical treatment time ranging from 1 to 3 months (52.3%), surgical treatment using the open approach (84.4%), mainly the transverse open approach (51%), triggering recurrence as the main nonsurgical complication (58%), and open surgery success in > 90% of the cases (63%), with healing intercurrences (54%) as the main complication. There was no consensus on the remaining variables. Orthopedists with different practicing times disagree on treatment duration (p = 0.013) and on the complication rate of open surgery (p = 0.010). Conclusions Brazilian orthopedists prefer to diagnose trigger finger with physical examination alone, to classify it according to the Quinnell method modified by Green, to institute an initial nonsurgical treatment, to perform infiltrations with steroids and local anesthetic agents, to sustain the nonsurgical treatment for 1 to 3 months, and to perform the surgical treatment using a transverse open approach; in addition, they state that the main nonsurgical complication was triggering recurrence, and report open surgery success in > 90% of the cases, with healing intercurrences as the main complication.


Resumo Objetivo Avaliar o planejamento terapêutico para o dedo em gatilho por ortopedistas brasileiros. Métodos Estudo transversal, cuja população foi composta por participantes do Congresso Brasileiro de Ortopedia e Traumatologia 2018 (CBOT-2018). Foi aplicado um questionário sobre a conduta adotada no diagnóstico e tratamento do dedo em gatilho. Resultados Foram analisados 243 participantes com média de idade de 37.46 anos, na maioria homens (88%), tempo de experiência de pelo menos 1 ano (55,6%), e da região Sudeste (68.3%). A análise dos questionários evidenciou que há consenso nos seguintes quesitos: diagnóstico somente com exame físico (73,3%), classificação de Quinnell modificada por Green (58,4%), tratamento inicial não cirúrgico (91,4%), infiltração de corticoide com anestésico (61,7%) tempo de tratamento não cirúrgico de 1 a 3 meses (52,3%), tratamento cirúrgico pela via aberta (84,4%), principalmente via aberta transversa (51%), recidiva do engatilhamento como principal complicação não cirúrgica (58%), e o sucesso da cirurgia aberta em > 90% (63%), sendo a sua principal complicação as complicações cicatriciais (54%). Sem consenso nas demais variáveis. De acordo com a experiência, foram observadas diferenças referentes ao tempo de tratamento (p = 0.013) e a taxa de complicação da cirurgia aberta (p = 0.010). Conclusões O ortopedista brasileiro tem preferência pelo diagnóstico do dedo em gatilho apenas com exame físico, classifica segundo Quinnell modificado por Green, tratamento inicial não cirúrgico, infiltrações com corticoide e anestésico local, tempo de tratamento não cirúrgico de 1 a 3 meses, tratamento cirúrgico por via aberta transversa, principal complicação não cirúrgica a recidiva do engatilhamento, e considera o sucesso da cirurgia aberta em > 90% dos casos, tendo como principal complicação as complicações cicatriciais.

ABSTRACT

Flexor tendon tenosynovitis is an entrapment of the flexor tendons at its entrance to the pulley system. Because there is a high incidence of this pathology, it should be well known by physicians, rheumathologists and orthopaedic surgeons. On this paper we present a literature review, analyzing the anatomic facts, biomechanics, diagnosis, classification, therapeutic options and we propose some general recommendations for physicians.

ABSTRACT

Resumen: Introducción: El dedo en gatillo es muy frecuente en la población, con un riesgo de vida de padecer la enfermedad de 2.6% en la población general y con un aumento de 4 a 10% en diabéticos. Dado que no hay un estándar de oro de tratamiento quirúrgico y aún hay controversia en ello, es importante evaluar los resultados de las distintas técnicas quirúrgicas. El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar resultados postoperatorios de ambas técnicas quirúrgicas en pacientes con seguimiento de uno a 12 meses de postoperatorio. Material y métodos: Se trata de un estudio prospectivo, longitudinal, descriptivo y observacional realizado en un período de Enero de 2015 a Diciembre de 2017. Se incluyeron pacientes postoperados de liberación con técnica abierta (grupo 1) y percutánea con aguja (grupo 2). Se llevó a cabo la revisión de expedientes de todos los pacientes y se les hizo una encuesta mediante vía telefónica. Los resultados de la comparación de ambas técnicas se analizaron mediante χ2 para resultados paramétricos y mediante la prueba de Fisher para los no paramétricos. Resultados: Se encontró que los pacientes del grupo 2 manifestaron mayor satisfacción, de los cuales 21.8% (n = 12) estuvieron totalmente satisfechos con el procedimiento percutáneo, a diferencia de los del grupo 1 quienes manifestaron satisfacción total sólo en 3.8% (n = 2). Conclusiones: En este estudio podemos concluir que ambas técnicas son efectivas para el tratamiento de dedo en gatillo, siendo la liberación percutánea con aguja la que ofrece mayor grado de satisfacción en los pacientes.


Abstract: Indroduction: Trigger finger is very common in the population, with a life-threatening risk of developing the disease of 2.6% in the general population and increasing to 4 to 10% in diabetics. Since there is no standard gold of surgical treatment and there is still controversy in this, it is important to evaluate the results of the different surgical techniques. The objective of this study is to evaluate postoperative results of both surgical techniques in patients with follow-up of 1 to 12 months postoperative. Material and methods: It is a prospective, longitudinal, descriptive and observational study carried out in a period from January 2015 to December 2017. Postoperative open (group 1) and percutaneous needle (group 2) patients were included. All patients were reviewed and surveyed by telephone. The comparison results of both techniques were analyzed using χ2 for parametric results and by the Fisher test for nonparametric results. Results: It was found that patients in group 2 expressed greater satisfaction, where 21.8% (n = 12) were fully satisfied with the percutaneous procedure, unlike those in group 1 where total satisfaction was only manifested at 3.8% (n = 2). Conclusions: In this study we can conclude that both techniques are effective for the treatment of trigger finger, with percutaneous needle release offering the highest degree of satisfaction in patients.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Desenvolver uma nova técnica de liberação percutânea do dedo em gatilho, usando microbisturi oftalmológico vitreorretiniano (MVR) de lâmina 19. MÉTODO: O tratamento conservador do dedo em gatilho inclui, com frequência, injeção local de esteroide. Esse método apresenta alta taxa de falha, sendo necessárias injeções repetitivas. Quando o tratamento conservador falha, recomenda-se a liberação a céu aberto da polia A1. Foram relatados vários métodos que empregam diversos instrumentos. Usamos um microbisturi oftalmológico vitreorretiniano (MVR, de microvitreoretinal blade) de lâmina 19 na liberação percutânea do dedo em gatilho. RESULTADOS: Liberamos 50 dedos em gatilho por via percutânea com essa lâmina. CONCLUSÃO: Foram obtidos resultados satisfatórios em 45 deles (90 por cento). Nivel de Evidência VI, série de casos.


OBJECTIVE: Conservative treatment of trigger finger includes often local injection of steroid. This has a high rate of failure and repeated injections may be required.METHODS: When conservative treatment fails, open release of the A1 pulley is recommended. Various methods using various instruments have been reported. We used 19 gauge microvitreoretinal (MVR) ophthalmic knife in percutaneous release of trigger finger.RESULTS: We released 50 trigger fingers percutaneously with this knife. Satisfactory results were achieved in 45 of them (90%). Conclusion: Object of this study is to produce a new technique for percutaneous release of trigger finger using 19 gauge microvitreoretinal (MVR) ophthalmic knife.CONCLUSION: Satisfactory results were achieved in 45 of them (90%). Level of Evidence: Level IV cases series.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: o polegar em gatilho congênito ou tenossinovite estenosante do polegar é a dificuldade de extensão do polegar, identificada nos primeiros meses de vida. Objetivo: a proposta deste estudo foi discutir o tratamento cirúrgico com os resultados, as complicações e as vantagens na utilização da internação hospital-dia. Método: no período de fevereiro de 2001 até janeiro de 2008, verificaram-se 25 crianças entre 3 meses e 6 anos, portadoras de polegar em gatilho congênito. Foram operadas 35 mãos, e 10 casos eram bilaterais. Observamos que a manifestação clínica quanto à dificuldade de extensão do polegar estava presente em todas as mãos operadas e nenhuma criança queixava-se de dor. As crianças foram submetidas à mesma técnica cirúrgica, anestesia geral inalatória, com incisão transversa na prega volar metacarpofalangeana do polegar acometido e abertura longitudinal da polia flexora A1. Não foi utilizado antibiótico e as crianças foram internadas pelo sistema hospital-dia. Resultados: Quinze crianças eram do sexo masculino e dez do sexo feminino. Dos pacientes com lesão bilateral, sete eram do sexo masculino e três do feminino. Quanto ao lado acometido, obtivemos sete polegares direitos, oito esquerdos e dez bilaterais. Como complicações, não houve nenhuma recidiva; um polegar evoluiu com infecção cutânea superficial e dois polegares apresentaram deiscência parcial da sutura após a retirada dos pontos. Conclusões: o polegar em gatilho congênito ou tenossinovite estenosante do polegar na criança pode ser tratado com segurança através da abertura simples da polia flexora A1, utilizando-se a internação hospital-dia.


The congenital trigger disorder or stenosing tenosynovitis of the thumb is the difficulty of extending the thumb, identified in early months of life. Objective: The purpose this study was to discuss the operative results, complications and advantages of the day hospital system. Method: This study was carried out from February 2001 to January 2008, with 25 children aging from 3 months to 6 years old with congenital trigger finger thumb. Thirty-five hands were submitted to surgery, and ten children had both hands attacked. The limited extension of the thumb was the clinical characteristic observed in all operated hands and no child had pain complaint. All children were submitted to the same surgical technique, by the use of inhalational general anesthetics, with transversal incision in the metacarpophalangeal volar pleat of the thumb and longitudinal resection of the flexor pulley A1. Antibiotic therapy was not used and all children were admitted by the day hospital system. Results: fifteen were boys and ten were girls. Seven boys and three girls had the pathology in both hands. Comparing the incidence of each side, we have found seven right congenital trigger thumbs, eight left and ten occurring in both sides. The complications found were: one thumb had superficial cutaneous infection and two thumbs presented dehiscence of the incision after the removal of the suture. There were no cases of recurrence of the disease after surgery. Conclusion: we concluded that congenital trigger disorder or stenosing tenosynovitis in children can be safely treated with simple incision of flexor pulley A1 and with day hospital system.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: We undertook this study to identify risk factors in our population associated with trigger finger. The study was conducted at the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, UMAE 21, Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. METHODS: This was a case-control, retrospective, and observational study. There were 250 patients in each group. For cases, patients who were operated on for trigger finger from March 2006 to August 2006 were included. Controls included patients admitted to the Emergency Department with hand injuries that fulfilled the selection criteria. Risk factors analyzed were diabetes, hypertension, smoking, sex, age, weight, and 19 different occupations. RESULTS: Mean age of the cases was 52 years (SE +/- 14.19 years) with a median and mode of 53 years. The right hand was the most common with the middle, thumb, ring, index and little fingers, respectively. A significant statistical relationship was found: females (OR 7.57, 95% CI 5.07-11.31); diabetes (OR 3.72, 95% CI 2.43-5.70); obesity (OR 1.49, 95% CI 1.02-2.19). With regard to occupation, a statistical relationship was found: homemaker (OR 2.44, 95% CI 1.62-3.69); seamstress (OR 4.8, 95% CI 1.3-21.6); and secretary (OR 2.74, 95% CI 1.38-5.52). CONCLUSIONS: Trigger finger is a common pathology in our population and is more frequent in women >53 years old. It may be related to diabetes, body mass index (obesity) and certain occupations such as secretary, seamstress and homemaker.
