There are various methods to solve the stenosing tenosynovitis of the long fingers of the hand, commonly known as trigger finger. This study shows the results of the application of percutaneous vaginotomy to treat this affection. 1 437 patients that presented 2 192 trigger fingers were evaluated by Strickland's method. The surgical time, the duration of the postoperative pain, the recovery of the motor function, the time of reincorporation to work and the complications were analyzed in relation to the surgery outcome. 98 % of the results were adequate. The average times of the described variables were significantly short and did not present serious complications. Percutaneous vaginotomy satisfactorily resolved the morbidity produced by trigger finger. It is a semiinvasive, easy, fast, well-tolerated and low cost procedure that allows an optimal functional recovery and an immediate return to daily activities.

Palabras clave : trigger finger; percutaneous vaginotomy.
