Open trigger digit release constitutes an adequate low-risk surgical procedure for treatment of trigger digit. In this study, we could show that the incidence of this disease is not significantly correlated with the manual strain, trauma, BMI, hand dominance or concomitant diseases like diabetes mellitus, rheumatoid arthritis, renal insufficiency, and hypothyroidism. Additionally, this study illustrates the importance of a careful postoperative follow-up treatment to avoid potential persistent functional limitations.

Synopsis Treating a fracture of the distal radius may require the surgeon to make a difficult decision between surgical treatment and nonsurgical management. The use of surgical fixation has recently increased owing to complications associated with conservative treatment. However, conservative action may be necessary depending on certain patient factors. The treating surgeon must be aware of the possible complications associated with distal radius fracture treatments to prevent their occurrence. Prevention can be achieved with a proper understanding of the mechanism of these complications. This article discusses the most recent evidence on how to manage and prevent complications following a fracture of the distal radius.
