Evaluating Outcomes of Flexor Tendon Excision During Trigger Finger Release
This study found high rates of postoperative improvement in TFR with FTE groups, as well as similar oral and steroid injections, complication rates, and Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand scores compared to the isolated TFR group. Therefore, TFR with FTE can be a safe and effective surgery with similar outcomes to isolated TFR and no additional risks in appropriately indicated patients.
