Top Hand Doctor For Trigger Finger

Stenosing Tenosynovitis

Stenosing tenosynovitis, commonly referred to as "trigger digit" or "trigger finger," is caused by a narrowing of a portion of the tendon sheath of the finger and causes interference with normal digit movement. It most commonly affects the ring finger, but may be found in any digit. When your fingers are compromised, common daily tasks such as cooking, opening a door knob, or typing on a keyboard can become painful.

If you’re living with a loss of mobility in your finger, you may find sports and even everyday tasks exceedingly difficult.

We will work with you to create a minimally-invasive treatment plan that is specifically tailored to your individual needs in order to help you regain full mobility in your finger.

Treatments for Trigger Finger

Treatment & Diagnosis of Stenosing Tenosynovitis

The first step in diagnosing stenosing tenosynovitis is completing a comprehensive medical evaluation. This will typically include a review of your medical history, a physical examination, and diagnostic imaging tests such as an MRI or X-ray. Once a diagnosis has been made, your physician will work with you to develop a treatment plan that may include one or more of the following:

  • Corticosteroid injections: These injections help to reduce inflammation and pain.
  • Splinting or bracing: A splint or brace can be used to immobilize the affected finger and allow it to rest and heal.
  • Surgery: In some cases, surgery may be necessary to release the constricting tendon sheath.

The Physicians Spine & Rehabilitation Specialists are experts in the diagnosis and treatment of stenosing tenosynovitis. We will work with you to develop a customized treatment plan that is designed to help you regain full mobility in your finger and get back to your normal life.
