What is Trigger Finger Release?

Regain control of your finger with a Trigger Finger Release. This quick, outpatient procedure treats trigger finger syndrome using local or general anesthesia. In just 30 minutes, the tendon is released and the finger's mobility restored. Enjoy symptom relief soon after anesthesia wears off and return to normal activities once minor soreness subsides.

A trigger finger release is a surgical procedure that treats the condition known as trigger finger syndrome. The less than 30-minute outpatient procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia

During the procedure, the following steps are performed:

• A small incision is made in the palm
• The tendon is divided and released
• The finger is moved to ensure it no longer catches or locks
• The incision is carefully closed and dressed

Patients experience symptom relief after the effects of local anesthesia wear off and they are able to move their finger. A return to normal activities occurs after minor soreness from the incision quickly goes away. Stitches are usually taken out 1-2 weeks after the procedure.

Please make an appointment if you experience symptoms and would like a treatment solution.
