| | Flexor Tendinitis / Trigger Finger |
| | Many patients with trigger fingers also have a tendency to have swelling, stiffness and soreness of the moving parts of their hands, and that is not changed by surgery. | | | This arrangement allows the fingers to be slender, yet have all the strength of the large muscles in the forearm. | | | If fingers bend and lock during the night and are painful to straighten in the morning, it may be helpful to wear a splint to keep them straight while sleeping. |

| | The finger also may be locked in a flexed (bent) position, or it may be stiff and painful. | | | However, most patients with trigger finger recover within a few weeks by resting and limiting the use of the affected finger and/or using anti-inflammatory medications. | | | If the condition does not respond to conservative measures or consistently recurs, surgery may be recommended to release the tendon sheath and restore movement. |

| | The usual solution for treating a trigger digit is surgery to open the pulley that is obstructing the nodule and keeping the tendon from sliding smoothly. | | | The therapist may also apply heat treatments, soft-tissue massage, and hands-on stretching to help with the range of motion. | | | Most patients won't need to participate in a formal rehabilitation program unless the finger or thumb was locked for a while before surgery. |
