Trigger Finger

Introduction

Trigger Finger (Stenosing Tenosynovitis) is a condition where one or more fingers get stuck in a bent position and snap back suddenly, like pulling a trigger. This occurs due to inflammation or thickening of the tendon sheath, restricting smooth finger movement. If left untreated, it can lead to permanent stiffness and hand dysfunction.

At Elrevo Clinic, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad), we specialize in the latest non-surgical and surgical treatments for Trigger Finger, ensuring pain relief and improved hand function.

Alternative Names for Trigger Finger

• Stenosing Tenosynovitis
• Locked Finger Syndrome
• Snapping Finger
• Tendon Entrapment

Common Symptoms of Trigger Finger

✔ Finger stiffness, especially in the morning
✔ Pain and tenderness at the base of the affected finger or thumb
✔ Clicking or popping sensation during finger movement
✔ Finger locking in a bent position, requiring force to straighten
✔ Swelling or a small lump (nodule) at the base of the finger

Investigations for Diagnosing Trigger Finger

At Elrevo Clinic, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad), our expert hand surgeons use advanced diagnostic methods:
🩺 Clinical Examination – Evaluating finger movement, pain levels, and nodules
📸 Ultrasound Scan – Helps visualize inflammation or thickening of the tendon sheath
🔬 X-ray (if needed) – To rule out arthritis or other joint problems

Medical Treatment for Trigger Finger

For mild to moderate cases, non-surgical treatments can provide significant relief:
✅ Splinting – Wearing a splint to keep the affected finger in an extended position
✅ Medications – Anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to reduce swelling and pain
✅ Steroid Injections – Corticosteroids help decrease inflammation and restore finger movement
✅ Physiotherapy & Hand Exercises – Strengthening and stretching exercises to improve mobility
✅ Activity Modifications – Avoiding repetitive gripping movements that worsen symptoms

Surgical Treatment for Trigger Finger

If symptoms persist despite conservative treatment, Trigger Finger Release Surgery is recommended. At Elrevo Clinic, we offer:
🔹 Minimally Invasive Percutaneous Release – A small incision-free procedure done under local anesthesia
🔹 Open Trigger Finger Surgery – A precise procedure to widen the tendon sheath for smooth finger movement
🔹 Microsurgical Techniques – Advanced nerve and tendon preservation techniques for faster healing

These day-care procedures allow patients to return home the same day with minimal recovery time.

Aftercare & Recovery Post-Surgery

To ensure a smooth and quick recovery, proper aftercare is essential:
✔ Keep the hand elevated to reduce swelling
✔ Follow prescribed pain relief medications
✔ Start gentle finger exercises as advised by your doctor
✔ Avoid heavy gripping or repetitive movements for a few weeks
✔ Attend follow-up visits to monitor healing

Most patients regain full movement and strength within 2–4 weeks after surgery.
