“…Works that include the highest number of patients are those of Bandoh et al 8 in 1997 with 58 patients in nine years; D'Arcangelo et al 9 in 1996 with 50 cases and 122 syndactylies in nine years, and the impressive study with 681 patients in 20 years in the study of Muzaffar et al 13 published in 2004. In our midst Barboza et al 14 in 2006 reported experience with 13 patients in two years, and Cortez et al 15 with 72 patients in five years in 2010. ( Table 3 )…”

Objective To assess and report clinical data from patients with syndactyly. Methods A retrospective review of 47 patients treated between April 2002 and April 2012. Results Among the 47 analyzed patients, 33 (70%) were male and 14 (30%) female. The total number of syndactylies was 116. The right hand was affected in 19 patients (40%), the left hand in 12 (24%) and 31 (36%) were bilaterally compromise. Sixteen patients (34%) also presented genetic syndromes. Among the 31 (66%) patients without syndromes, 12 (39%) had isolated syndactyly and 19 (61%) presented association with other hand anomalies. The third web space was affected 45 (39%) times; the fourth, 35 (30%) times; the second, 22 (19%) times and the first web space 14 (22%) times. Simple syndactyly was found 68 (59%) times, complete syndactyly in 44 (65%) and incomplete in 24 (55%). Complex syndactyly was found 48 (41%) times. Conclusion The results in this study are similar to the literature. Epidemiological Study.

“…Many authors have only taken surgical treatment into consideration. Cortez et al (20) conducted a retrospective study covering 2005 to 2009, to evaluate congenital malformations found in the city of Recife, and observed that 5% (12 children) presented trigger finger, and that surgery was indicated in all these cases. Likewise, in a study published by Fukushima et al (21) , surgical treatment was performed on 25 children aged one to six years, without any attempt to implement conservative treatment prior to this.…”

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of conservative treatment of trigger thumb in children, in order to discuss the real need for surgical release in these patients. Methods: This was a retrospective study on a group of children with trigger thumb who were treated conservatively by the same orthopedic surgeon with gentle manipulation at the time of the consultation and guidance on stretching to be performed at home. The cases were followed up for at least five years. Results: Thirteen thumbs in 11 children (seven boys and four girls) were treated. The mean age at the first consultation was 26.3 months (range: 11 to 36 months). The mean follow-up was 10 years (range: 5 to 16 years). Ten thumbs showed satisfactory results (77%): eight of these were diagnosed when the child was younger than two years of age. The mean time taken from diagnosis to clinical improvement was 20.8 months (range: 6 to 36 months). The three thumbs that required surgical treatment were diagnosed after the age of two years and six months. Conclusions: Conservative treatment of trigger thumb in children showed a high rate of success, especially in children who were diagnosed up to the age of two years. This is important information to be passed on to parents and may avoid unnecessary surgery in many cases.
