Impact of Flexor Tendon Traction Tenolysis on Clinical Outcomes in Open A1 Pulley Release for Trigger Finger.

Purpose: This study aims to compare the postoperative clinical outcomes of open A1 pulley release with and without flexor tendon traction tenolysis. Outcomes assessed include finger range of motion, hand function (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand [DASH] score), complications (eg, digital nerve injury, superficial infection, and residual trigger finger), and surgery duration.

Methods: A prospective study was conducted from January 2018 to June 2019, involving patients with grade II-III trigger finger requiring surgical intervention.
