Key Points

To determine the relationship between preoperative HbA1c levels and long-term outcomes after open trigger finger release surgery in individuals with diabetes.
Conducted an observational study on individuals undergoing open trigger finger release surgery
Evaluated patient-reported outcomes (PRO) at 12 months post-surgery
Analyzed HbA1c levels prior to the surgical intervention
No significant association was found between HbA1c levels and patient-reported outcomes after 12 months
Poor glycemic control did not correlate with worse outcomes following surgery
Preoperative HbA1c testing was deemed unnecessary for predicting long-term outcomes

Implication

Observational study finds no link between glycemic control and outcomes in individuals with diabetes post-surgery, suggesting reevaluation of preoperative tests.

Abstract

Poor glycemic control was not associated with worse PRO 12 months after OTFR. Thus, for long-term outcome, preoperative HbA1c testing does not seem to be necessary.
