  • Title: Neuroma of the radial digital nerve of the middle finger following trigger release.
    Author: Sreedharan S, Teoh LC, Chew WY.
    Journal: Hand Surg; 2011; 16(1):95-7. PubMed ID: 21348040.
    Abstract:
    Trigger digit release is a common surgical procedure with a low complication rate. One of the potential complications is digital nerve injury. Though uncommon, digital nerve injury can be significantly symptomatic to the patient. We report a case of radial digital nerve neuroma formation following trigger release of the middle finger, which is considered to be safe, in terms of risk of digital nerve injury. We discuss our management of the complication, possible pitfalls which may have resulted in the complication in our case and offer possible means of overcoming these pitfalls.
