About Trigger Finger Release
Trigger finger release frees a tight pulley in the palm so that a finger or thumb tendon can glide smoothly. It is for people whose digit catches, locks or clicks and has not improved with splinting or a steroid injection.
Under local anaesthetic, the surgeon makes a small cut in the palm, or sometimes uses a needle, to divide the tight A1 pulley that the tendon passes through. You are often asked to move the finger during the procedure to confirm that it now moves freely. The procedure is brief, and stitches are small.
Usually a good fit if
- A finger or thumb that locks, clicks or catches and affects daily tasks.
- Symptoms continuing after splinting or one or two steroid injections.
- A finger stuck in a bent position that cannot be straightened.
- Recurrent triggering after injections.
May need to wait if
- Active hand infection or skin disease in the palm.
- Symptoms that actually come from other conditions, such as arthritis or Dupuytren's contracture.
- Mild, newly started triggering that may settle with splinting or injection.
- Inability to attend wound checks or follow simple aftercare.
How to prepare
- Tell your doctor about diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis or thyroid disease, which can cause triggering.
- Ask your doctor whether blood thinners or other regular medicines need adjusting; most people can continue them.
- No fasting is usually needed for local anaesthesia, but follow the hospital's instructions.
- Remove rings from the affected hand before surgery.
- Plan to keep the hand clean and dry afterwards and arrange help for heavy tasks.
Questions to ask your surgeon
- Should I try a steroid injection first, or is surgery the right option now?
- Will you use an open or needle release?
- How do you protect the digital nerves?
- When can I use my hand, and when can I return to work?
- What are the risks of stiffness, nerve irritation or recurrence?
- What follow-up do I need once I am home, and when are stitches removed?
Red flags when comparing hospitals
- Surgery offered without examining your hand or considering injections.
- Procedure performed in a non-sterile setting.
- No instructions about finger movement and wound care.
- No qualified hand or orthopaedic surgeon.

Will the triggering come back?
Recurrence after release is uncommon. Stiffness or swelling of the finger can persist for a few weeks to months, especially in diabetics.
Is the surgery painful?
Local anaesthetic injection stings briefly, and afterwards the palm is sore for several days. Simple pain medicine is usually enough.
Can I use my hand right away?
You can use your fingers for light tasks immediately. Avoid heavy gripping and wetting the wound until the stitches are removed.
Why not just repeat the injection?
Injections often work, but may wear off. If triggering returns after one or two injections, release gives a lasting result.
