Article Synopsis
- Trigger finger, a common hand condition causing painful finger locking, is linked to factors like diabetes and rheumatoid diseases; this study aimed to evaluate 139 patients who had surgery for it and assess outcomes one year later.
- Findings revealed that a younger age, high preoperative pain, psoriatic arthritis, and atopic disease significantly correlated with poorer surgical outcomes; however, range of motion didn't impact results.
- Overall, better pre-surgery hand function and lower pain levels contributed to more favorable outcomes after surgery for trigger finger.
Aqueous amine solvents are used to capture CO from various flue gas sources. In this work, the chemical stability of a blend of 3-amino-1-propanol (3A1P) and 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)pyrrolidine [1-(2HE)PRLD] was studied. The chemical stability tests were conducted both in batch and cycled systems using various oxygen and NOx concentrations, additives (iron), and temperatures.

The aim of this study was to identify risk factors for reoperations after Zones 1 and 2 flexor tendon repairs. A multiple logistic regression model was used to identify risk factors from data collected via the Swedish national health care registry for hand surgery (HAKIR). The studied potential risk factors were age and gender, socio-economics and surgical techniques.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFUncomplicated healing of grafts for tendon reconstruction remains an unsolved problem in hand surgery. Results are limited by adhesion formation and decreased strength properties, especially within the tight fibro-osseous sheath of the digits. This is especially problematic when an extra synovial tendon graft is used to replace an intra synovial flexor tendon.

Introduction: Investigating prognostic factors using population-based data may be used to improve functional outcome after flexor tendon injury and repair.
Purpose Of The Study: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of concomitant nerve transection, combined flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) and flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) tendon transection and the age of the patient, on digital range of motion (ROM) more than 1 year after FDP tendon transection and repair in zone I and II.
