Dr Venkatram Thalapalli - Treatment for Trigger Thumb at Banjara Hills
Trigger finger, medically termed as Stenosing Tenosynovitis, is a condition that causes pain, stiffness, and a feeling of locking or catching when bending and straightening the finger.
The ring finger and thumb are commonly affected, with Trigger Thumb being the term used if the thumb is affected. Trigger finger may result from medical conditions such as diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis or forceful hand activities.
Symptoms of trigger finger include a tender lump at the base of the affected finger, pain while moving the finger, and a popping or locking sensation. If left untreated, the condition can cause permanent bending of the finger or thumb, leading to difficulty in performing daily activities.
Most children do not require treatment, as the condition usually improves on its own. However, if necessary, a surgical procedure known as tenolysis or trigger finger release may be performed to realign the affected area.
