Summary

RME orthosis is recommended for the treatment of trigger finger. However, its efficacy has not been studied in trigger finger patients. Given the increasing popularity of this orthosis among clinicians, it is important to evaluate their effectiveness to provide evidence for its use in trigger finger. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of a 6-week orthotic intervention in a randomly selected group of patients with trigger finger using MCP-blocking and RME orthoses.

Conditions

  • Trigger Finger

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Pre-treatment

The custom MCP blocking orthosis was made of a 1.6-mm-thick thermoplastic material that extends from the palm over the MCP joint and includes a ring around the proximal phalanx. It is designed to block the MCP joint in flexion of 10°-20° while allowing full range of motion of the proximal and distal interphalangeal joints.

PROCEDURE

Post-treatment

The RME orthosis was fabricated from 3.2-mm-thick thermoplastic material with the affected finger positioned at an extension of approximately 10°-20° relative to the adjacent fingers.
