Trigger finger injection and release

Trigger finger injection and release

If you are dealing with an instance of a trigger finger, that indicates that your fingers are stiff and challenging to move, often freezing in the flexed position, resembling the posture used to pull a trigger. This usually happens when overuse or injury to the fingers results in swelling or thickening of the tendons. This increased size of the tendons makes it difficult to move the fingers. People who have diabetes or types of arthritis may be more prone to trigger fingers, and it most often occurs in people 40-60.

Effective treatments include corticosteroid injections and trigger finger release surgery. During trigger finger release surgery, the surgeon makes an incision in the thickened tissue covering the tendon, restoring the natural movement of the affected finger.
