Zusammenfassung: | Background:
This article compares the rates and time-to-development of new-onset Dupuytren disease in patients with trigger finger treated by steroid injection, surgical release, or both.
Methods:
PearlDiver’s Mariner 30 database was queried to identify patients with trigger finger between January 2010 and June 2019. One-to-one exact matching based on baseline patient demographics allowed us to create 4 identical groups defined by the type of trigger finger intervention received.
Results:
The matched population analyzed in this study consisted of 85 944 patients who were equally represented in the steroid injection cohort (n = 21 486, 25.00%), surgical release cohort (n = 21 486, 25.00%), steroids prior to surgery cohort (n = 21 486, 25.00%), and no intervention (control) cohort (n = 21 486, 25.00%). A new Dupuytren diagnosis after trigger finger treatment occurred in 1 in 128 patients overall, 1 in 156 patients treated with steroid injection, and 1 in 126 patients treated with surgical release. Trigger fingers treated by steroid injection only had the lowest rates of Dupuytren disease overall (n = 137, 0.64%, P = .0424) and treatment with fasciectomy (n = 14, 0.07%, P < .0005). In all, 171 patients in the surgery cohort developed Dupuytren disease 1 year after undergoing surgical trigger finger release. Furthermore, this cohort had the highest rates of fasciectomy (n = 55, 0.26%, P < .0005) and the lowest rates of no intervention (n = 103, 0.48%, P = .0471). Trigger fingers managed by surgical release developed Dupuytren disease (mean, 56.11 days; SD, 80.93 days, log-rank P = .02) and underwent fasciectomy (mean, 49.74 days; SD, 62.27 days; log-rank P < .0005) more quickly than all other cohorts.
Conclusions:
Patients solely undergoing surgical release of their trigger finger had significantly higher odds and expedited rate of developing new-onset Dupuytren disease overall and undergoing subsequent treatment by fasciectomy compared with trigger fingers managed by other interventions. |
