Flexor tenosynovitis is a common finding in the patients with Linburg–Comstock syndrome. Another hypothesis is that anatomical variations, which in this case is an additional tendon slip, may act as space-occupying lesions and potentially contribute to carpal tunnel syndrome. [5]
The patient should be awake in order to confirm adequate release. On occasion, triggering does not resolve until a slip of the FDS (flexor digitorum superficialis) tendon is resected. [10] One study suggests that the most cost-effective treatment is up to two corticosteroid injections followed by open release of the first annular pulley. [13]
Treatment is generally with a splint that holds the fingertip straight continuously for 8 weeks. [3] The middle joint is allowed to move. [3] This should be begun within a week of the injury. [3] If the finger is bent during these weeks, healing may take longer. [3] If a large piece of bone has been torn off surgery may be recommended. [3]
A graft of the extensor retinaculum was shown to be useful in treating boxer's knuckle when direct repair of the damaged capsule is not possible. [6] Because of their similarities in histological structure, studies also show the extensor retinaculum to be a reasonable biological replacement for reconstruction of a deficient annular pulley.
New research suggests a non-surgical treatment may be as effective. Knee injury doctors have long thought that a torn ACL required surgery to fix. ... Stocks slip but cap off 2024 with a 2nd ...
Pooled literature suggests that the initial treatment of jammed fingers should be conservative, without open reduction. [9] Damron and colleagues suggest an approach that only requires open surgery for the cause listed above, and cases where after six months observation conservative treatment has failed. [9]
