The Real Reason You’re Thinking About Surgery

If Your Finger Keeps Locking Or Clicking, These Will Feel Uncomfortably Familiar

Painful Clicking

Every time you bend or straighten your finger, it catches, clicks or jolts with pain.

Stuck In A Bent Position

Your finger sometimes locks in a bent position and has to be forced straight with your other hand.

Everyday Tasks Are Awkward

Typing, gripping the steering wheel, opening jars or using tools all feel harder than they should.

Short-Term Fixes Have Failed

Splints, rest or steroid injections only helped for a while, and the problem keeps coming back.

What Is Trigger Finger Surgery?

Trigger finger surgery is a minor procedure that releases the tight tunnel around the tendon so it can glide smoothly again. In trigger finger, this tunnel becomes thickened or inflamed, causing the tendon to snag and making the finger lock, click or feel stuck when you move it.

The surgery is usually carried out under local anaesthetic and takes only a short time. A small incision is made in the palm to release the affected tendon sheath. Most patients notice an immediate improvement in movement, with pain and locking reducing very quickly after the procedure.

The Benefits Of Trigger Finger Surgery

Smooth Finger Movement

Removes the mechanical cause of the locking so your finger can glide freely again.

Fast Procedure, Same-Day Discharge

A short operation under local anaesthetic, with no need for an overnight stay.

Rapid Return To Daily Activities

Most people can use their hand for light tasks within a few days, building up gradually.

Long-Term Relief

Designed as a permanent solution, reducing the need for repeat injections or splints.

Frequently Asked Questions

Want more details on this procedure? Our team of experts is here to help. Contact us using the form below

Do I Need To Try Steroid Injections Before Surgery?

Not always. Many patients have already tried splints or steroid injections, but some are referred straight to surgery based on the severity and duration of symptoms. Your hand surgeon will advise whether surgery is the most appropriate first-line or next-step option in your case.

How Long Will It Take To Recover?
drop down icon

Most people can use their hand for light activities within a few days, although heavier tasks and gripping may take a few weeks to feel fully comfortable. Mild soreness and stiffness are normal early on and improve as you heal.

Will My Trigger Finger Come Back After Surgery?
drop down icon

Recurrence after a properly performed release is uncommon. No procedure can guarantee zero recurrence, but trigger finger surgery is designed to provide long-lasting relief by addressing the mechanical cause of locking.

Will I Have A Noticeable Scar On My Hand?
drop down icon

The incision is small and placed in the palm crease where possible. Some redness and firmness are normal at first, but most scars soften and fade over time. Your surgeon and nursing team will advise on scar care if needed.
