In the present study, we present the clinical outcome of percutaneous release with finger splinting for trigger finger with PIP joint flexion contracture prospectively. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Methods: We compared outcomes in patients with trigger fingers combined with proximal interphalangeal joint flexion contracture treated by percutaneous release therapy regimen alone (group I) or percutaneous trigger finger release combined with finger splint (group II) during January 2011 and May 2016 with 6 months follow up. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Results: Sixty-five patients were randomly allocated to group I (35 patients) or group II (30 patients). Symptoms of locking sensation and pain over the A1 pulley were improved in all patients. The patients in group II showed significantly greater improvements in the flexion contracture angles of proximal interphalangeal joint at post-operative 3 months later (group I, 9.4\u00b0 \u00b1 4.1\u00b0; group II, 27.8\u00b0 \u00b1 4.6\u00b0) and at 6 months later (group I, 15.1\u00b0 \u00b1 5.2\u00b0; group II, 35.7\u00b0 \u00b1 5.3\u00b0) relative to group I. In group II, 25 fingers achieved near full extension (&lt; 10\u00b0 contracture) after 6 months. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Conclusions: Percutaneous release combined with finger splint is regarded as a useful therapy to speed recovery of trigger finger with proximal interphalangeal joint flexion contracture. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1142\/s2424835519500334","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,23]],"date-time":"2019-08-23T04:04:51Z","timestamp":1566533091000},"page":"270-275","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Percutaneous A1 Pulley Release Combined with Finger Splint for Trigger Finger with Proximal Interphalangeal Joint Flexion Contracture"],"prefix":"10.1142","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Tzu-Cheng","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics & Traumatology, Taipei Veterans General Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Duretti","family":"Fufa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Hand and Upper Extremity Surgery, Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hui-Kuang","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics & Traumatology, Taipei Veterans General Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Surgery, School of Medicine, National Yang-Ming University, Taipei, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, Chiayi Christian Hospital, Chiayi, Taiwan"},{"name":"Chung Hwa University of Medical Technology, Taipei, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yi-Chao","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics & Traumatology, Taipei Veterans General Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Surgery, School of Medicine, National Yang-Ming University, Taipei, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ming-Chau","family":"Chang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics & Traumatology, Taipei Veterans General Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Surgery, School of Medicine, National Yang-Ming University, Taipei, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jung-Pan","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics & Traumatology, Taipei Veterans General Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Surgery, School of Medicine, National Yang-Ming University, Taipei, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"219","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"p_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12178-007-9012-1"},{"key":"p_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jor.22798"},{"key":"p_4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/J.JHSB.2004.03.004"},{"key":"p_5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhsa.2012.07.026"},{"key":"p_6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhsa.2015.01.005"},{"issue":"1340","key":"p_8","first-page":"187","volume":"224","author":"Quinnell RC","year":"1980","journal-title":"Practitioner."},{"key":"p_10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00130911-200603000-00010"},{"issue":"1","key":"p_11","first-page":"48","volume":"87","author":"Gilberts EC","year":"2002","journal-title":"Int Surg."},{"key":"p_12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhsa.2015.07.018"},{"key":"p_13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0363-5023(78)80039-2"},{"key":"p_14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0363-5023(05)80195-9"},{"key":"p_15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00402-008-0802-8"}],"container-title":["The Journal of Hand Surgery (Asian-Pacific Volume)"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.worldscientific.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1142\/S2424835519500334","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,5]],"date-time":"2019-11-05T04:30:10Z","timestamp":1572928210000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.worldscientific.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1142\/S2424835519500334"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,23]]},"references-count":12,"journal-issue":{"issue":"03","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2019,9]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1142\/S2424835519500334"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1142\/s2424835519500334","relation":{},"ISSN":["2424-8355","2424-8363"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2424-8355","type":"print"},{"value":"2424-8363","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,23]]}}}
