What is trigger finger?

Trigger finger, or TF, is a common condition in the United States with 800k people diagnosed annually. ¹ The condition is characterized by catching, snapping or locking as you flex or extend your fingers, causing pain, swelling and popping. Trigger finger occurs when inflammation or swelling creates a nodule within the tendon sheath and prohibits the flexor tendons from gliding smoothly underneath the pulley(s). In severe cases, the finger may become locked in a bent position.

What are common symptoms of trigger finger?

Pain at the base of the affected finger, where the finger joins with the palm

Swelling within the affected tendon or development of a cyst

Stiffness or loss of motion: difficulty in bending the finger

Mechanical symptoms – popping, catching or locking

Treatment Options

Non-Surgical Treatments

With the consultation of a physician, less severe symptoms of trigger finger can be treated in various ways without surgery. Splinting of the affected finger, NSAIDs to reduce inflammation, corticosteroid injection, hand therapy and exercises, or change in activity to reduce forceful or repetitive motions are common non-surgical alternatives for mild cases.

Non-Surgical Treatments

Surgical Treatments

Trigger finger can also be treated surgically with a procedure called trigger finger release (TFR). This procedure involves releasing the pulley of the affected finger to allow the tendon to glide more freely and may be recommended if non-surgical treatment options do not offer improvement. With the help of real-time ultrasound guidance, physicians can perform TFR through a minimally invasive approach to provide full mobility of your finger, with less scarring and a shorter recovery than open trigger finger release surgeries. ² ) [_page_sections_4_wysiwyg] => Array ( [0] => field_5a79c5dfc5cca ) [page_sections_4_width] => Array ( [0] => normal ) [_page_sections_4_width] => Array ( [0] => field_5af99fbbc9de1 ) [page_sections_1_section_title] => Array ( [0] => ) [_page_sections_1_section_title] => Array ( [0] => field_5ada5134d3021 ) [page_sections_1_wysiwyg] => Array ( [0] =>
