Özet
We use an uncommon anesthetic method for open trigger finger surgery in this study. We aim to decrease the risk for neurovascular / tendon injury and recurrence due to inadequate release by using tourniquet. 120 patients with trigger finger were treated and followed prospectively by using combination of musculocutaneous blockage and local anesthesia method between 2014 and 2016. All the patients had additional diseases like diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cardiac insufficiency, renal insufficiency. The patients didn’t have tourniquet pain during surgery. They could use drugs related with their additional diseases during preoperative and postoperative time. There were no complications and need for secondary surgery for all patients during follow-up time. We think that combination of musculocutaneous blockage and local anesthesia is a quick, safe and effective anesthetic method in the trigger finger surgery. This method prevents risk for neurovascular / tendon injury and recurrence due to inadequate release by achieving bloodless surgical field.
