Helping you understand Our healthcare
Trigger finger occurs when a tendon in your finger becomes inflamed or thickened, causing it to catch or lock when you bend or straighten your finger.
- Repetitive gripping or hand use
- Underlying conditions like diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis
- Tendon sheath narrowing or nodules forming on the tendon
Surgery is considered if:
- Symptoms persist despite splinting or steroid injections
- The finger locks in a bent position and doesn’t release
- Pain and stiffness interfere with daily activities
The procedure is done under local anesthesia. A small incision is made at the base of the affected finger to release the tight tendon sheath (A1 pulley), allowing smooth tendon movement.
- Most patients can return to light hand use in 1–2 days
- Full recovery of grip strength: 4–6 weeks
- Early finger exercises help prevent stiffness and ensure smooth motion.
