Trigger finger release
Posted on August 1st, 2009 2 comments
….is a common condition mostly affecting 3rd and 4th finger. The principle is that, for a variety of reasons, the flexor tendon of a finger may get trapped in a “pulley” that normally forms they basis for the flexor tendon to glide in.Should now the tendon thicken or other pathologic processes restrict movement of the tendon within the pulley, this can lead to entrapment of the tendon within the pulley and blockage of movement. it is one of the most common requests in hand surgery.
Whilst steriod injections have been suggested and are possibly still widely practised, state of the art treatment is surgical release of the pulley, which can easily be done under local anestetic.
