Scars from<unk><unk>  release surgery. Two different techniques were used. The left scar is 6 weeks old, the right scar is 2 weeks old. Also note the muscular atrophy of the thenar eminence in the left hand, a common sign of advanced<unk>  Most people relieved of their<unk><unk>  symptoms with conservative or surgical management find minimal residual or "nerve damage". Long-term chronic<unk>  (typically seen in the elderly) can result in permanent "nerve damage", i.e. irreversible numbness, muscle wasting, and weakness. Those that undergo a<unk><unk>  release are nearly twice as likely as those not having surgery to develop trigger thumb in the months following the procedure. While outcomes are generally good, certain factors can contribute to poorer results that have little to do with nerves, anatomy, or surgery type. One study showed that mental status parameters or alcohol use yields much poorer overall results of treatment. Recurrence of<unk>  after successful surgery is rare.
