A comprehensive 48 page guide on the symptoms, causes and treatment of trigger finger. Avoid surgery with proven, effective treatment options
The surgeon’s goal is to release the A1 pulley at the base of your trigger finger, so the tendon can slide more easily.
Your surgeon will use either a needle through the skin or a scalpel through a surgical cut in your palm to cut it free.
The doctor will use local anesthesia to numb the affected area and a mild sedative to help you relax and remain comfortable during surgery.
