Trigger Finger Surgery at Solitaire Medical Group
Understanding Trigger Finger
What is Trigger Finger?
Trigger finger, also known as stenosing tenosynovitis, is a condition where one of your fingers gets stuck in a bent position and then straightens with a snap – like pulling and releasing the trigger of a gun. If conservative treatments haven’t provided relief, trigger finger surgery may be recommended.
The Surgical Procedure
Preparation for Surgery
Prior to the surgery, your healthcare provider will provide specific instructions on how to prepare. This may involve fasting before the procedure and discussing any medications you’re currently taking.
The Surgical Process
During the surgery, a small incision is made in the palm of your hand. The surgeon will release the affected tendon, allowing it to move freely. The incision is then closed with sutures.
Post-Surgery Recovery
Following the surgery, you’ll receive detailed instructions on caring for your hand. This may include exercises to aid in recovery and precautions to prevent strain.
Benefits of Trigger Finger Surgery
Restored Hand Function
Trigger finger surgery aims to restore normal finger movement, allowing you to perform daily tasks without discomfort.
Pain Relief
The surgery can alleviate pain and discomfort associated with trigger finger, enhancing your overall quality of life.
Prevents Recurrence
By releasing the affected tendon, trigger finger surgery significantly reduces the likelihood of the condition recurring.
