About the procedure

Trigger finger release is a surgical procedure that involves cutting the A1 pulley at the base of the finger to relieve locking or catching of the tendon. It is indicated for patients with persistent, painful finger locking that does not improve with conservative measures such as splints, medications, or steroid injections. The procedure can be performed as an open or percutaneous release under local anesthesia. Postoperative care includes early finger movement, wound care, and scar massage, allowing most patients to regain normal finger function rapidly and resume daily activities.
