Surgery to free a finger or thumb that catches or locks, for Trigger Finger that has not settled with splinting and rest.
Trigger Finger Treatment
The tendons that bend the fingers and thumb run through a sheath that holds them close to the bone. In Trigger Finger, the entrance to the sheath at the base of the finger thickens and narrows, and the tendon catches as it passes through. The finger clicks, catches or locks in a bent position and may have to be straightened with the other hand. It can affect any finger or the thumb. At PRIME Orthopedics & Regenerative Center, Dr. Abbasi, board certified in Orthopedic Surgery and Sports Medicine, offers non-surgical treatment and performs Trigger Finger Release.
Common Questions
Do I have to have surgery?
Not necessarily. Treatment begins with the most conservative appropriate option, and Dr. Abbasi recommends surgery only when he believes it is warranted.
What causes Trigger Finger?
The cause is often not clear. It is more common in people with diabetes or rheumatoid Arthritis, and in people whose work or hobbies involve repeated, forceful gripping.
Can more than one finger be affected?
Yes. Trigger Finger can affect more than one finger, in one hand or both, and each finger is assessed on its own.
Is the operation done under general anesthetic?
Not usually. The operation is generally performed under a local anesthetic as an outpatient procedure, and most people go home the same day.
How soon can I use my hand?
The finger is moved from the first day so that it does not stiffen, and light use of the hand usually begins within days. Gripping and heavier work return over the following weeks as the palm heals.
