Abstract

Introduction: Digital stenosing tenosynovitis of the superficial and deep flexor tendons of the hand -also called "trigger or spring finger"- is one of the main reasons for adult consultation to the hand surgeon.
Objective: To characterize patients with trigger finger who underwent surgery.
Methods: An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, descriptive study was carried out. The population consisted of 160 individuals operated from October 2021 to March 2022 at the Hospital Docente Clínico Quirúrgico "Miguel Enríquez", with open surgery technique, who had a complete individual clinical history. All subjects were studied. A descriptive statistical analysis was performed.
Results: Female patients predominated (n= 90; 56.2%), with ages between 40 and 59 years (n= 80; 50%). A total of 186 affected fingers were operated. The most frequently affected finger was the fourth (n= 78; 41.9%), followed by the third (n= 73; 39.2%). The most frequent degree of stenosis was II (n= 105; 56.5%). 70% (n= 112) of the patients had no personal pathological history. Diabetes mellitus (n= 16; 10%) and arterial hypertension (n= 15; 9.4%) were the predominant comorbidities.
Conclusions: The condition is characterized by occurring more frequently in women between the fourth and sixth decades of life, with grade II stenosis of the ring and middle fingers, in the presence of no or few comorbidities.
