“…For Baek et al, 8 the average time for resolution was high (60 months), but those authors chose to proceed with the period of observation to avoid surgery. According to Dinham and Meggitt, 13 patients who present before 6 months of age can be safety watched for 12 months because there is an expected spontaneous recovery rate of at least 30%.…”

“…The explanation for this range is not clear. We divided these papers into 2 groups: papers from Asian countries 5,8,10,11 and those from Western countries. 1,9,12,14,17 The rate of spontaneous recovery in Southeast Asian papers is close to 50% and that in Western papers is about 10%.…”

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
