Trigger Finger Surgery: When Conservative Treatment Is Not Enough
Locked finger not improving? Discover surgical trigger finger treatment in Montreal with expert hand surgeon Dr. Durand.
Trigger finger can start as a mild inconvenience but quickly progress into a condition that significantly limits hand function. When conservative treatments such as splinting or injections fail, surgery becomes the most reliable option.
Patients in Montreal often wait too long before seeking surgical care, which can prolong discomfort unnecessarily.
Why Does Trigger Finger Worsen?
The condition is caused by inflammation and narrowing of the tendon sheath. Over time:
- The tendon thickens
- Movement becomes restricted
- The finger may lock completely
Without intervention, symptoms rarely resolve on their own in advanced stages.
What Happens During Surgery?
Trigger finger surgery is straightforward and highly effective.
The procedure involves:
- Releasing the constricted tendon sheath
- Allowing smooth tendon movement
- Restoring full finger mobility
At Dr. Durand’s clinic, surgery is:
- Performed under local anesthesia
- Completed in a short time
- Minimally invasive
Recovery Timeline
- Immediate improvement in movement
- Mild soreness for a few days
- Return to normal activities within weeks
