The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of A1 pulley reconstruction in treating severe trigger fingers and to compare its outcomes with those of the traditional A1 pulley release technique. A total of 43 patients participated in the study, divided into two groups: 22 patients underwent A1 pulley reconstruction, while the remaining 21 patients received the standard A1 pulley release procedure. The outcomes were assessed using the Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire (MHQ) 1 month post-surgery. The results demonstrated that patients who received the A1 pulley reconstruction reported significantly better outcomes. These included enhanced hand function and quality of life, reduced levels of pain, improved aesthetic appearances, and higher overall satisfaction when compared to the traditional release group. The findings suggest that A1 pulley reconstruction offers superior benefits over the standard release procedure for individuals suffering from severe trigger fingers, highlighting its potential as a more effective surgical intervention.
