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.
扳机指松解术是一种常见的外科手术，并发症发生率较低。潜在并发症之一是指神经损伤。虽然不常见，但指神经损伤对患者可能有明显症状。我们报告一例在被认为就指神经损伤风险而言较为安全的中指扳机指松解术后桡侧指神经神经瘤形成的病例。我们讨论了对该并发症的处理、在我们的病例中可能导致该并发症的潜在问题，并提供了克服这些问题的可能方法。
