Abstract:
Trigger finger (TF) is a disorder characterized by snapping or locking a finger. It has a prevalence of greater than 3% in the general population; however, this estimate could be increased to 5% up to 20% in diabetic patients. Some unreal ambiguity about definition, pathophysiology, site of lesion, and etiology are found among researchers and clinicians, leading to a lack of understanding of all aspects of the disease and improper management as many clinicians proceed to anti-inflammatory medications or steroids injection without in-depth patient evaluation. Original articles cited up to 2022, found through a Google search using the specified keywords, have been used in this review. Close-access articles were accessed through our researcher account with the Egyptian Knowledge Bank. In this review, we will focus on pathophysiology to present all possible findings and etiology to represent all risk factors and associated diseases to assess and confirm a diagnosis and the exact location of pathology hence better treatment modalities and reducing the recurrence of the pathology.
摘要:
触发手指(TF)是一种以折断或锁定手指为特征的疾病。它在一般人群中的患病率超过3%;然而,在糖尿病患者中,这一估计值可能增加到5%至20%.关于定义的一些不真实的歧义,病理生理学,病变部位,在研究人员和临床医生中发现了病因,由于许多临床医生在没有对患者进行深入评估的情况下进行抗炎药或类固醇注射,导致对疾病的各个方面缺乏了解和管理不当。引用到2022年的原始文章,通过Google搜索使用指定的关键字找到,已在本评论中使用。通过我们在埃及知识库的研究人员帐户访问了近距离访问文章。在这次审查中,我们将专注于病理生理学,以呈现所有可能的发现和病因,以代表所有危险因素和相关疾病,以评估和确认诊断以及病理的确切位置,从而更好的治疗方式并减少病理的复发。
