Article Abstract
Background: This study aimed to compare clinical outcomes in patients with trigger thumb who underwent A1 pulley release, with or without postoperative thumb immobilization.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 207 patients with trigger thumb, comprising 97 in the splinted group and 110 in the non-splinted group, who underwent surgical treatment at our center. Recurrence rates, differences in extension angles between affected and unaffected interphalangeal (IP) joints, and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups.
Results: According to Baek's criteria, all patients except three experienced complete resolution of their symptoms. At the final follow-up, one case of IP joint flexion contracture was observed in the splinted group and two in the non-splinted group, with all cases showing flexion contractures of less than 10°. No recurrences were noted in either group. One case of tendon bowstringing was noted in the splinted group, while two cases were seen in the non-splinted group. The mean difference in extension angles between the affected and unaffected IP joints at the last follow-up was 0.96 ± 1.86° (range: 0-13°) in the splinted group and 1.08 ± 2.06° (range: 0-12°) in the non-splinted group (P > 0.05).
Conclusions: Our results suggest that postoperative thumb immobilization following A1 pulley release may not be necessary for patients with trigger thumb, as it does not significantly impact functional outcomes or recurrence rates.

Ultrasound-guided interventions for the wrist and hand provide valuable therapeutic options for managing various conditions. This article reviews common procedures including injections into the radiocarpal joint, first metacarpophalangeal joint, ganglions, and tendon sheaths, as well as the interventional management of De Quervain's tenosynovitis, trigger finger, and carpal tunnel syndrome. Detailed instructions are provided on probe selection, patient positioning, and procedural techniques tailored to each anatomical target.

Purpose Of The Study: The study evaluates the functional outcomes of the treatment of pediatric trigger digits in two centers and compares them with data from the available literature. The secondary objective is to verify the possibilities of collecting data on patients' health status through questionnaire surveys using remote communication via a web interface.
Material And Methods: Patients operated on at the Hand and Plastic Surgery Institute in Vysoké nad Jizerou (ÚCHRaPCH) and the Motol University Hospital, Department of Orthopaedics (FNM) between 2018 and 2021 were evaluated.

Background: Metacarpophalangeal joint blocking orthoses are used for managing trigger finger, with limited intervention evidence for relative motion orthoses.
Purpose: This 6-week trial evaluated the effectiveness of metacarpophalangeal joint blocking and relative motion orthoses for managing trigger finger severity, function, occupational performance/satisfaction, and orthosis wearability.
Study Design: Randomized comparative trial, ClinicalTrials.

This study investigated the effectiveness and safety of ultrasound-guided non-incisional thread trigger finger release on cadavers using a newly developed domestic thread (Smartwire-01). Ultrasound-guided non-incisional thread trigger finger release was performed on 12 fresh cadaveric hands, including 12 thumbs and 48 long fingers. Two experts, experienced in an ultrasound-guided thread transecting technique, performed the procedures independently.
