Trigger finger (hand surgery)
Our flexor tendons are kept in position via fibrous bands, so called “pulleys”.The first in line of these pulleys can block the tendon from gliding through in a variety of conditions. This results in blockage of the finger in movement out of which he can sometimes only be freed manually.
A small incision into the palm enables us to identify the flexor tendon and find the pulley causing your problems. The pulley is then split. The most important thing is to spare the sensitive nerve to the finger.
You are encouraged to fully move your hand immediately after surgery, to prevent adhesions. There is no functional impairment resulting from splitting the pulley.
Should you require some more extensive information of hand surgery either in the department of Plastic Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery of Hospital Quiron Malaga or in Cirumed Clinic Marbella please contact us.
