Non-Surgical Treatment Options for Trigger Finger
Non-surgical treatments for trigger finger include:
- Resting the affected finger or thumb.
- Splinting the hand to prevent joint movement.
- Taking anti-inflammatory medications.
- Receiving steroid injections into the affected tendon sheath.
- Performing gentle finger exercises.
If these treatments do not alleviate the condition, surgery may be recommended.
Surgical Treatment Options for Trigger Finger
In cases where trigger finger surgery is necessary to release a locked tendon and provide a permanent solution, the procedure involves making a small incision at the top of the palm to expose the flexor tendon sheath of the affected finger. Our expert surgeons will then carefully cut the tendon sheath, allowing the tendon to move freely again.
Trigger finger release surgery is typically performed on an outpatient basis, meaning no overnight care is required. Recovery from the procedure is usually quick.
After the hand has healed, a program of physical rehabilitation may be recommended to fully restore hand function.
