Some people may suffer from a condition known as the trigger finger, which is the inability to move the fingers or one of them properly, which can cause the finger to remain in a crooked position that hinders many daily functions.
The main cause of the trigger finger is the inflammation of the tendon sheath attached to the muscles, which is responsible for the movement of the fingers in the hand, causing problems in their movement accompanied by a range of disturbing symptoms such as pain in the fingers when moving or pressure, a popping sound when moving a finger or in some advanced stages that loss of the ability to hold the finger in a straight position or bend it completely (i.e., finger stuck in a certain position).
The orthopaedic surgeon uses a number of surgical procedures depending on the patient's condition, following the failure of other non-surgical medications (pain relievers or finger exercises) in the treatment of the trigger finger. Tendon release in the trigger case is characterized by high success rates and often a quick recovery period.

Full recovery after trigger finger surgery may take 3 to 6 months to get rid of stiffness and swelling in the hand.
It is advisable to keep the wound clean and dry, in addition to the need to keep it covered with a "corset" for about a week, the patient can perform rehabilitation exercises for the fingers during the first period after consulting a specialist in this regard to avoid stiffness of the fingers and maintain flexibility.
