What is Trigger Finger?
Trigger Finger, also known as stenosing tenosynovitis, is a condition that affects the tendons in the fingers or thumb, causing them to become inflamed and restricted within their sheaths. This can result in difficulty moving the affected finger or thumb smoothly, leading to a sensation of catching, snapping, or locking when attempting to straighten or bend the digit. Trigger Finger typically occurs when the flexor tendons become swollen or thickened, creating a narrowing within the tendon sheath. This narrowing can impede the smooth gliding of the tendon, causing it to get stuck in a bent position before suddenly releasing, hence the name “trigger.” While the exact cause of Trigger Finger isn’t always clear, it can be associated with repetitive hand movements, medical conditions like diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis, or factors like age and gender. Though it can be uncomfortable and impact daily activities, effective treatment options are available to alleviate symptoms and restore normal finger and thumb function.

At Maxwell Clinic, we offer comprehensive and expert care for Trigger Finger, tailoring treatment plans to each patient’s specific condition and needs. Our skilled medical team is dedicated to ensuring effective relief and restoring optimal hand functionality. Here’s how we approach treating Trigger Finger:
- Accurate Diagnosis: Our experienced doctors use precise diagnostic techniques, including physical examinations and medical history assessment, to confirm the presence and severity of Trigger Finger.
- Conservative Approaches: For mild cases, we often recommend non-surgical treatments such as: Rest and Activity Modification: Resting the affected hand and avoiding repetitive movements can promote healing. Immobilization: Wearing a splint can help rest the affected finger or thumb, reducing inflammation.
- Medications: Our doctors may recommend nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or corticosteroid injections to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain.
- Physical Therapy: Our skilled therapists guide patients through exercises and stretches to improve finger and thumb mobility and strength.
- Minimally Invasive Procedures: If conservative methods prove insufficient, our doctors offer minimally invasive procedures such as corticosteroid injections into the tendon sheath to reduce inflammation.
- Surgical Interventions: For severe or persistent cases, our skilled surgeons may recommend a surgical release of the tendon sheath to alleviate restrictions and restore normal movement.
- Post-Treatment Rehabilitation: Our rehabilitation experts provide tailored guidance on exercises and activities to optimize hand function during recovery.
- Pain Management: Our doctors address pain through medications and modalities to ensure patient comfort.
- Patient Education: We empower patients with knowledge about Trigger Finger, its causes, management, and preventive measures.
- Long-Term Monitoring: Our commitment extends beyond treatment. We monitor progress and provide ongoing support as needed.
