A Prospective, Randomized Trial Evaluating the Type of Incision on Outcomes and Patient Satisfaction in the Surgical Treatment of Trigger Finger
In Brief
An observational study for Trigger Finger. Completed, enrolled 86 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Trigger finger is a condition commonly treated with surgical intervention, yet no specific incision type has been associated with improved or worsened scar quality or outcome. Therefore, the investigators objective is to determine if the incision type may affect the results of operative treatment of trigger finger. Therefore, the goals of this study are as follows: Primary Objective: To directly compare incision type (transverse vs. longitudinal) for trigger finger release with scar quality and patient satisfaction via a validated scar evaluation scale. Secondary Objective: To directly compare incision type (transverse vs. longitudinal) for trigger finger release to patient outcome via a validated upper extremity outcome score.
