Article Synopsis
- Trigger finger is a common cause of hand pain and disability, and a new endoscopic release technique has shown promising results with 2154 procedures assessed in a single center.
- Outcome assessment 90 days after surgery revealed 1027 excellent, 607 good, and 400 fair results, with no patients reporting poor outcomes and only minor complications occurring in 10.7% of cases.
- Overall, patients expressed high satisfaction with the endoscopic trigger finger release, indicating it is an effective treatment option for this condition.
Article Synopsis
- A 72-year-old woman developed a rare complication known as a flexor tenosynovial fistula after undergoing endoscopic release of the A1 pulleys for trigger finger.
- Nine days post-surgery, she experienced persistent discharge from the wound, although there was no sign of infection.
- The fistula was ultimately surgically excised, leading to complete healing, highlighting the need for surgeons to be aware of this potential complication.
This report shows a multi-compartmental lipoma that occupied a vast area of the hand volar compartment, the distal aspect of the Parona's space and infiltrated the dorsal compartment between the IV and V metacarpal bones. The mass was entirely removed through a dorsal approach, minimizing risks of neurovascular and tendinous lesions.

Purpose: The aim of the present study is to assess the utility of implant interposition after arthroscopic scaphoid distal pole resection for scaphotrapeziotrapezoid arthritis.
Material And Methods: The authors present a prospective study after the arthroscopic resection of the distal pole of the scaphoid in 24 patients.
