“That’s true of my colleagues, as well,” he points out, referring to the team at the OAM Hand & Upper Extremity Center. Trigger finger is actually a swelling – or tendonitis – of the flexor tendon that controls the flexing movement of a finger or thumb.

It can include inflammation of the tubular sheath that the tendon slides through when the hand is opened and closed. When the tendon is inflamed, it is unable to slide normally through the tendon sheath. It tends to catch and create a locking sensation when the person tries to open their hand.

In the general population, trigger finger is typically brought on when people overuse their hands doing activities that require a great deal of gripping or pinching. “We think it’s more common in women because their hands are a little smaller. When they do activities that put too much stress on the tendons, they tend to swell more,” explains Dr.

Take two ibuprofen and call me in the morning Often times, if the condition comes on suddenly after a particular activity, it will go away on its own. “If you’re able to refrain from the activity that brought it on, rest your hand, try not to flex your fingers, and take an anti-inflammatory medication, it will commonly go away over a period of a few weeks,” advises Dr. DeHaan.

“If it doesn’t subside and the patient’s symptoms aren’t severe, the next line of treatment may be an injection with a steroid medication. But the success rate of injection treatment is about 50-50 in the general population, and injections are not successful for people with diabetes.” So how does a patient know if more aggressive treatment is called for?

DeHaan. “I ask the patient to move their finger during the surgery and when their finger stops locking, you know you’ve opened up the sheath.” Start to finish, the percutaneous release takes only about two to three minutes – and the patient experiences immediate relief. Because the surgery is done in an office setting, not a hospital or surgical center, and there is no general anesthesia, overnight stay, or incision to care for, its very convenient and cost effective.

Most importantly, studies over several years have shown that the procedure is a very safe and effective treatment for trigger finger. In some cases – depending on the person’s medical condition or anatomy – a patient may not be a candidate for the percutaneous release. In these cases, the surgeon will use a technique called an open release.
