Phoenix Hand Surgery specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of trigger finger, providing expert care to alleviate pain and restore function. Trigger finger, or stenosing tenosynovitis, is a condition that causes one of your fingers to get stuck in a bent position and then snap straight. If you’re experiencing these symptoms, our skilled orthopedic surgeons are here to help you find relief and improve your quality of life.
What is Trigger Finger?
Trigger finger occurs when the sheath that surrounds the tendon in the affected finger becomes inflamed, narrowing the space through which the tendon can move. This can cause the finger to catch or lock in a bent position before suddenly popping straight.
Our Trigger Finger Treatment Services
At Phoenix Hand Surgery, we offer a range of treatments tailored to the severity of your condition:
Non-Surgical Treatments:
- Rest and Activity Modification: Advising patients to avoid activities that aggravate the condition and allowing time for healing.
- Medications: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to reduce pain and inflammation.
- Splinting: Wearing a splint to keep the affected finger in a straight position and reduce strain on the tendon.
- Steroid Injections: Corticosteroid injections to decrease inflammation and provide temporary relief.
Surgical Treatments:
- Trigger Finger Release Surgery: A procedure to release the constricted portion of the tendon sheath, allowing the tendon to move freely and relieve the locking sensation.
