Trigger Finger
What is it? A condition where one of your fingers gets stuck in a bent position. Your finger may bend or straighten with a snap — like a trigger being pulled and released.
Common Symptoms: Finger stiffness, a popping or clicking sensation, a tender nodule at the base of the affected finger, and the finger locking in a bent position.
Our Approach: Most cases of trigger finger can be resolved without surgery. We often start with rest and splinting. A simple steroid injection is highly effective at reducing the inflammation and resolving the triggering. For persistent cases, a quick, minimally invasive surgical release can be performed in the office to provide lasting relief.
