Trigger Finger - Symptoms

Trigger Finger - How to prevent?

Trigger Finger - Causes and Risk Factors

Trigger Finger - Diagnosis

Trigger Finger - Treatments

We will first try non-surgical methods, such as

Hand therapy
Wearing a splint
Anti-inflammatory medications
Steroid injection to the finger

If symptoms persist, surgery is recommended. It is a minor procedure performed under local anesthesia, which involves the release of the tendon tunnel to create more space.

Will it recur?

Sadly, it may, but at a low recurrence rate, especially with non-surgical methods. With surgery, recurrence rate can be as low as <5%.
