Trigger finger is a condition caused by inflammation and enlargement of the tendons that pull the fingers towards the palm of the hand.
A locking, catching, or popping of the finger when trying to straighten it are key signs of trigger finger syndrome. It is also common to have the finger appear in the locked or curled position throughout the day.
Although there is no known cause of trigger finger, there are certain factors that put patients at an increased risk to develop the condition, such as gender, repetitive use of the fingers, and other medical conditions.
Patients with trigger finger syndrome may experience the following symptoms:
At OrthoNeuro, our Board Certified Orthopedic Hand and Wrist Specialists have helped thousands of patients with trigger finger syndrome live active and healthy lives using the latest treatment options.
In some cases, trigger finger syndrome can be managed using non-surgical treatment options.
At OrthoNeuro, these options may include:
During a trigger finger release, the tunnel that the tendon passes through is widened so the tendon can move freely and the finger can return to its normal position.
