Does your finger get stuck in a bent position or snap painfully when you try to straighten it? Living with a trigger finger can turn everyday activities into frustrating challenges – whether you’re texting, opening jars, or simply shaking hands. The catching and locking sensations aren’t just uncomfortable; they can significantly impact your daily routine and work productivity.
At Orthoify Orthopedics in San Antonio, TX, Dr. Eildar Abyar specializes in trigger finger release surgery that’s customized to your specific condition. Our approach focuses on restoring natural finger movement, allowing you to return to pain-free hand function. Book your appointment today to start your path to recovery.
Trigger finger release is a surgical procedure designed to eliminate the catching and locking that occur when the flexor tendon becomes trapped in its protective sheath.
Tendon Sheath Release: Creating space for the tendon to glide smoothly.
Minimally Invasive Approach: A tiny incision is placed strategically at the finger base.
Local Anesthesia Option: Most procedures are performed comfortably while you’re awake.
Important: A thorough hand examination confirms the trigger finger diagnosis.
Formal therapy isn’t typically needed – we’ll teach you simple exercises to do at home for optimal healing. These gentle movements help maintain flexibility and prevent scar tissue from limiting your finger’s range of motion after the procedure.
You’ll start gentle finger movements right after surgery, progressing to regular activities within 2-3 weeks. Many patients return to typing and light tasks within days, though heavy gripping or strenuous activities should wait until fully healed.
Recurrence happens in fewer than 3% of our surgical cases, making this a highly reliable long-term solution. Once the tendon sheath is properly released during surgery, the structural problem that caused the triggering is permanently resolved.
Most plans approve coverage after documented failure of conservative care – our staff will help confirm your benefits. We’ll work directly with your insurance company to determine coverage details and any out-of-pocket costs before scheduling your procedure.
