The complications which occur after the 'open' surgical intervention in the treatment of adults with Trigger Fingers;<br /><br>3. The patient characteristics which are associated with a higher risk to develop a Trigger Finger (specific interest for patients with Diabetes Mellitus);<br /><br>4. The efficacy, in percents, of the 'open' surgical intervention in the treatment of adults with Trigger Fingers when the steroid injections will not be successful;<br /><br>5. A valid treatment protocol for adults affected with a Trigger Finger and adults affected with a Trigger Finger in a risk group, in which the most efficacy and the lowest complication risk will be found.
