Factors affecting prognosis in open A1 pulley release surgery for trigger finger.
Jt Dis Relat Surg
January 2025
Ankara Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Ortopedi ve Travmatoloji Anabilim Dalı, 06230 Altındağ, Ankara, Türkiye.
Objectives: This study aims to investigate the frequency of recurrence and prolonged postoperative symptoms in patients undergoing open A1 pulley release for trigger finger and to identify potential associated factors.
Patients And Methods: Between October 2021 and December 2023, a total of 72 patients (30 males, 42 females; mean age: 58.0±11.
Surgery for Pediatric Trigger Finger.
JBJS Essent Surg Tech
November 2024
Shriners Children's Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Article Synopsis
- - Pediatric trigger finger (PTF) is rare and more challenging to treat than trigger thumb, with surgical treatment showing a much higher success rate (97.1% resolution) compared to nonoperative methods (30% resolution).
- - Nonoperative treatments like monitoring and splinting are often ineffective, and surgical intervention involves releasing the A1 pulley and removing a slip of the flexor tendon to restore finger motion.
- - The outlined surgical procedure includes several steps, such as anesthesia and careful identification of nerves and blood vessels, to ensure a successful outcome for affected children.
Clinical outcomes of using operating microscope for alveolar ridge preservation: A randomized controlled trial.
J Periodontol
October 2024
Department of Periodontics and Oral Medicine, University of Michigan School of Dentistry, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of using an operating microscope (OM) versus dental loupes (DL) for alveolar ridge augmentation (ARP) after tooth extraction, focusing on wound healing and bone quality.
- Forty teeth from 33 patients were randomly divided into two groups; one received treatment with OM and the other with DL. Results showed that the OM group had significantly fewer tissue remnants and better healing scores at 2 and 4 weeks post-surgery.
- By the 12-week mark, both groups had similar bone healing and quality results, suggesting the early benefits of OM in reducing tissue remnants did not translate into long-term differences in bone health.
Enhancing Precision in Endodontic Procedures: An Investigation of Magnification and Enhanced Visualization.
J Pharm Bioallied Sci
July 2024
Department of Restorative Dental Sciences, College of Dentistry, Jazan University, Jazan, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Background: Endodontic procedures require precise manipulation and visualization to achieve optimal treatment outcomes. Magnification and enhanced visualization tools, such as dental loupes and dental operating microscopes (DOMs), have been introduced to enhance precision in endodontic practice.
Materials And Methods: Extracted human teeth with single-rooted canals were divided into two groups: a control group without magnification and an experimental group with magnification and enhanced visualization.
Comparative evaluation of clinical attachment and alveolar bone levels in patients with infrabony pockets treated by conventional and microsurgical approach - a randomized clinical trial.
Int J Health Sci (Qassim)
January 2024
Department of Periodontics, SCB Dental College and Hospital, Cuttack, Odisha, India.
Objectives: The aim of the present study is to evaluate and compare healing outcomes, probing pocket depth (PPD) reduction, clinical attachment, and alveolar bone level following Modified Widman Flap (MWF) with and without 4× prismatic loupe in infrabony pockets.
Methods: Patients having at least one infrabony pocket with PPD ≥5 mm and angular bone loss ≥3 mm bilaterally were randomly assigned to a microsurgical (test) group with MWF using 4× magnifying loupes and conventional (control) group by MWF only. At baseline, 3 and 6 months plaque index, bleeding index, PPD, and relative clinical attachment level were taken.
