What is Trigger Finger?

Trigger finger is a condition affecting tendons that flex the fingers and thumb, typically resulting in a sensation of locking or catching when you bend and straighten your digits. Other symptoms may include pain and stiffness in the fingers and thumb. Depending on the severity, this is can be successfully treated with bracing, medications, injections, or percutaneous release. Dr Brill and Dr Sederberg have specific training in all of these procedures. If necessary, they can help you avoid open surgery with their ultrasound guided needle release right in the office.

Frequently Asked Questions About Trigger Finger

Descriptive text

Trigger finger (stenosing tenosynovitis) is a condition where a finger or thumb catches or locks when you try to bend or straighten it. It happens when the tendon in the finger becomes irritated and inflamed, making it harder for it to glide smoothly.

It’s often caused by repetitive gripping, heavy hand use, or underlying conditions such as diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis. Sometimes, the cause isn’t clear.

Symptoms of trigger finger may include finger stiffness, particularly in the morning, along with popping or clicking sensations when moving the finger. You may also notice pain or tenderness at the base of the affected finger or thumb. In some cases, the finger may lock in a bent position and then suddenly straighten.

People who do repetitive gripping tasks (e.g., musicians, gardeners, industrial workers) and those with certain health conditions like diabetes or inflammatory arthritis are at higher risk.

A healthcare provider usually diagnoses it through a physical exam and review of symptoms—no special imaging tests are typically needed.

Mild cases can improve with rest and activity changes, but persistent or severe cases often need medical treatment to avoid permanent stiffness.
