Trigger finger is an underdiagnosed @entity74 causing disability in longstanding @entity6 @entity1 . Sixty @entity6 @entity1 [39 @entity1723 ( @entity1723 ) and 21 @entity2175 ( @entity2175 )] and 60 nondiabetic @entity1 were examined. All were initially treated by @entity134 injections: failure to alleviate symptoms was the indication for surgery. The incidence of multiple digit involvement was higher in @entity1723 @entity1 as compared with the control group (p < 0.001). The diffuse type was 1.45 times more frequent in @entity1723 and @entity2175 than in nondiabetic @entity1 (p < 0.008). The @entity6 @entity1 had a relatively longer duration of symptoms (p < 0.003). Significantly, a higher recovery rate upon @entity134 injection was achieved in control @entity1 as compared with the @entity6 ones (p < 0.001). @entity1723 @entity1 required more surgery compared with NIDDMs and, in 13.3% of @entity6 @entity1 , the surgical outcome was not successful. @entity6 @entity1 should be diagnosed early for multiple and diffuse types of @entity1795 . @entity134 injection as the first mode of therapy is highly recommended although not always successful. Surgery is the definitive treatment but requires a long course of physiotherapy and may be associated with some complications.
