Trigger Finger Release Surgery Pune
Sancheti Hospital provides trigger finger release surgery to relieve stiffness, restore finger motion, and ensure pain-free hand function.
What is Trigger Finger Release?
Trigger finger, medically known as stenosing tenosynovitis, is a condition where one of your fingers gets stuck in a bent position and then suddenly straightens with a snap, like a trigger being pulled. It occurs when the tendon in the finger becomes inflamed or thickened, making it difficult to glide smoothly through its sheath.
Trigger finger release surgery is a safe and effective procedure that relieves this problem. The surgeon makes a small incision near the base of the affected finger and releases the tight tendon sheath, allowing the tendon to move freely. In some cases, patients may require other tendon-related surgeries such as finger tendon repair surgery, hand tendon repair surgery, quadriceps tendon repair surgery, patellar tendon repair surgery, or even peroneal tendon repair surgery for tendon injuries in different parts of the body.
Benefits of Trigger Finger Release Surgery
- Immediate relief from finger locking and pain.
- Restores smooth, natural finger movements.
- Quick outpatient/daycare procedure.
- Prevents long-term stiffness or permanent deformity.
- Allows patients to return to work and normal activities faster.
Limitations and Disadvantages
- Some swelling, soreness, or stiffness may persist for a few weeks.
- Small scar formation at the incision site.
- Rare risks include infection, nerve injury, or incomplete relief of symptoms.
- Requires dedicated post-operative physiotherapy for best results.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does recovery take after trigger finger release surgery?
Most patients can move their fingers immediately after surgery. Complete recovery and grip strength return within 4–6 weeks with physiotherapy.
Will the problem come back after surgery?
Recurrence is rare, especially if surgery is performed by an expert. Proper rehab further reduces the risk of symptoms returning.
Is trigger finger release a daycare procedure?
Yes, it is usually performed under local anesthesia, and most patients go home the same day.
Do I need physiotherapy after finger tendon repair surgery or trigger finger release?
Yes, physiotherapy is essential to restore flexibility, prevent stiffness, and strengthen grip.
Can multiple fingers be treated at once?
Yes, if more than one finger is affected, surgeons may perform multiple releases during the same procedure.
What is the difference between trigger finger release and finger tendon repair surgery?
Trigger finger release surgery involves releasing the tendon sheath, while tendon repair surgery (such as hand tendon repair surgery or patellar tendon repair surgery) involves repairing torn or damaged tendons.
Are there risks with the surgery?
As with any surgery, there are small risks of infection, stiffness, or incomplete relief. At Sancheti, these risks are minimized with advanced techniques and expert care.
When can I return to normal activities after surgery?
Light activities can resume in a few days. Heavy gripping or strenuous work may take 4–6 weeks depending on healing progress.
