• Opis:
  Introduction Trigger finger, also referred to as trigger finger syndrome, is a condition caused by inflammation of the flexor tendons of the fingers and digital pulleys, resulting in pain and restricted movement. This issue affects numerous individuals, particularly the elderly and those who perform repetitive hand motions. Aim The aim of this study is to explore and compare the available treatment options for trigger finger, including rest, splinting, anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, steroid injections, and surgical interventions. Both conservative and surgical approaches have their advantages and limitations, and their effectiveness varies depending on the individual patient’s response. State of Knowledge Medical literature describes a variety of treatment methods, ranging from pharmacological approaches and physical therapy to steroid injections and, in more complex cases, surgical interventions. Conservative treatment, often the initial approach, aims to alleviate symptoms and can be effective in the early stages of the condition. Surgery, on the other hand, is considered when conservative treatment fails or in more advanced cases. Summary The choice of treatment for trigger finger should be tailored to the individual needs of the patient and the severity of the condition. Conservative therapy is effective in the early stages but does not always provide long-lasting relief. Surgery, although more invasive, is typically effective in advanced cases and often leads to a quicker restoration of full finger function.
