摘要
37 patients who had been operated upon for trigger thumb, all below 15 years of age, have been reviewed. 75% of the affected thumbs were on the dominant hand and 25% have bow-stringing of 1–2 mm. without any complaints. All had good results. Unlike other authors, we found that operation done after the third year of age gave full correction of the flexion contracture. © 1990, SAGE Publications. All rights reserved.
