Trigger Finger (Stenosing Tenosynovitis) is a painful condition where one or more fingers lock, catch, or click when bent. The tendon sheath in the finger becomes thickened or inflamed, preventing smooth movement. When severe, the finger may remain stuck in a bent position. This condition can also affect the thumb, called Trigger Thumb.
Mild cases may respond to rest, splints, or steroid injections. But if symptoms persist, the most effective solution is trigger finger surgery in Dubai, also known as trigger release surgery. This minimally invasive procedure releases the tight tendon sheath, restoring normal finger or thumb movement. Some patients with tendon or joint issues may also benefit from supportive treatments like PRP therapy for hand tendons or hand cyst removal for associated lumps.

What is Trigger Finger & Trigger Thumb Release Surgery?
The procedure is quick, safe, and often done as a day-care surgery. A small incision is made in the palm or near the thumb, and the surgeon cuts the tight portion of the tendon sheath (pulley). This allows the tendon to glide freely without catching.
- Open Release: Performed through a small incision in the palm.
- Percutaneous Release: Performed using a fine needle without stitches, in selected cases.
Both techniques are highly effective and tailored to the patient’s needs.
