Closed division of the flexor tendon sheath for trigger finger

Lyu SR

Department of Orthopaedics, Chiayi Christian Hospital, Taiwan, Republic of China.

Closed tenotomy was used to treat triggering of the fingers and thumb in 54 patients. In 56 digits the method was successful; in seven it was a simple matter to proceed to open tenotomy. With experience, the closed procedure can be completed within minutes without risk of damaging the digital nerves.
