Comparison of three different incision techniques in A1 pulley release on scar tissue formation and postoperative rehabilitation

摘要

IntroductionThe optimal surgical approach for trigger finger release remains controversial in hindsight of postoperative rehabilitation as well as scar tissue formation. In this study, we comparatively evaluated the outcome of three different types of skin incision by employing the “Disability of the Arm Shoulder and Hand Score” (DASH) and by quantitative ultrasound measurements of scar tissue volume.
