A1 Release (Trigger Finger)

Trigger Finger Release with Ultrasound Guidance

Trigger finger causes pain, stiffness, and a locking sensation in the fingers due to tendon inflammation and thickening. When conservative treatments fail, Trigger Finger Release offers a minimally invasive solution to restore finger function.

How It Works

Using ultrasound guidance, a small needle is inserted to release the trigger finger, allowing the tendon to move freely. This precision technique helps reduce pain and improve mobility with minimal disruption to surrounding tissue.

Benefits

• Minimally Invasive: Small incisions and no need for general anesthesia.
• Precise: Ultrasound guidance ensures accurate treatment.
• Quick Recovery: Most patients resume normal activities in a week.
• Effective: Immediate pain relief and improved finger function.

What to Expect

• Local anesthesia will numb the area.
• Ultrasound is used to guide the small instruments to release of the A1 pulley.
• The procedure is quick, typically requiring only a small incision.
• Most patients experience minimal downtime and return to normal activities soon after.
