Trigger Finger Release: Causes, Symptoms & Best Treatment Options for Lasting Relief By Dr. Santanu Choudhury – Expert in Hand & Microsurgery
What is Trigger Finger?
Trigger Finger (stenosing tenosynovitis) is a condition where one or more fingers become stuck in a bent position and then suddenly snap straight, often causing pain and stiffness. It occurs due to inflammation or thickening of the tendon sheath, making it difficult for the finger to move smoothly.
Who is at Risk?
People with repetitive hand use (e.g., factory workers, musicians, typists)
Diabetes & Rheumatoid Arthritis patients
Individuals with prolonged gripping activities (e.g., sports players, drivers)
Women & people over 40
Common Symptoms of Trigger Finger
