General Info

http://www.handsurgeonlosangelesmd.com/service/trigger-finger/ Trigger finger, aka stenosing tenosynovitis, affects the tendons in your fingers, causing them to lock or catch when bent. When tendons in the finger become inflamed, the amount of space in the sheath surrounding the tendon of the affected finger becomes smaller. Some symptoms of trigger finger are: stiffness, popping, clicking, tenderness or pain, etc. Dr. Justin Hellers office provides non-surgical treatment with a steroid injection into the tendon sheath, reducing the inflammation and allowing the tendon to glide pain-free. Surgical treatment is done through a small incision at the base. The constricted section of the tendon sheath is cut open, freeing the finger from its locked position.
