Abstract
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and trigger finger (TF) are two of the most common conditions of the hand. Co-occurrence is mentioned by a number of publications, but there are few high-level evidence studies that summarise the results of large databases to quantify the chances of concurrency in detail making it difficult to gauge clinical significance. We aimed to quantify the impact of CTS, TF and surgery for these conditions on the prevalence of the other condition. Systematic review based on PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines, with registration in the PROSPERO database. TF is clearly more common with CTS and after CTS surgery, so it is important to seek out symptoms of TF, even the initial ones, at every examination performed for CTS. Thus, conservative treatment of TF maybe started in time and TF surgery may be performed in conjunction with CTS surgery. Level of Evidence: IV. Prospero registration number: CRD42022382672.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of the Journal of Plastic Surgery and Hand Surgery is to serve as an international forum for plastic surgery, hand surgery and related research. Interest is focused on original articles on basic research and clinical evaluation.
The scope of the journal comprises:
• Articles concerning operative methods and follow-up studies
• Research articles on subjects related to plastic and hand surgery
• Articles on cranio-maxillofacial surgery, including cleft lip and palate surgery.
Extended issues are published occasionally, dealing with special topics such as microvascular surgery, craniofacial surgery, or burns. Supplements, usually doctoral theses, may also be published.
The journal is published for the Acta Chirurgica Scandinavica society and sponsored by the Key Foundation, Sweden.
The journal was previously published as Scandinavian Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Hand Surgery.
