Conventional resting splints used to treat digital stenosing tenosynovitis (trigger finger) are often discontinued or not worn consistently by patients. Informal reports by patients indicate that the splints are too bulky, interfere with activities of daily living, and are visibly too noticeable. Since resolution of the condition may take as long as 9 weeks, this is a significant issue. A new splint design has been developed to avoid these shortcomings in hopes that physicians and therapists will have successful compliance when utilizing splinting in the treatment of this condition. It is both cost-effective and noninvasive. This article describes the condition and treatment options for digital stenosing tenosynovitis and fabrication techniques for the proposed alternative splint.
用于治疗手指狭窄性腱鞘炎（扳机指）的传统静息夹板，患者常停用或未持续佩戴。患者的非正式报告表明，夹板过于笨重，干扰日常生活活动，且外观过于显眼。由于病情缓解可能需要长达9周的时间，这是一个重大问题。已开发出一种新的夹板设计以避免这些缺点，希望医生和治疗师在使用夹板治疗这种疾病时能成功实现患者依从性。它既经济有效又无创。本文介绍了手指狭窄性腱鞘炎的病情和治疗选择，以及所提议的替代夹板的制作技术。
