Hands and fingers play a huge role in our lives, they enable us to eat, work, shop, and play, along with will a million other tasks. When tendons become swollen due to overuse or injury, their movement is limited which results in a Trigger Finger condition.

Triggering occurs when a flexor tendon, which bends or flexes your finger, catches on a pulley that is designed to help the tendon glide.  This condition can make it difficult to bend your finger and pick up objects due. Trigger fingers can occur on one or multiple fingers and can range from mildly annoying to painful and debilitating.

Trigger finger release surgery can help eliminate the locked joint, alleviating pain and restoring function. The procedure involves cutting the thickened pulley, allowing the fingers to move pain-free and smoothly.

The recovery time for the release of Trigger Finger surgery is around 2 to 4 weeks, although this is dependent on the individual’s health, age and the extent of the surgery.
