Outcome Following the Surgery

The outcome of trigger finger is excellent both using conservative and surgical methods. In conservative treatment, a response was found in up to 70% of cases. Surgical treatment also has a very good outcome with a success rate of up to 95%. Recurrence remains a problem for some patients, and it can be prevented by proper education of patients with measures such as:

Avoiding excessive pressure on the hand and palm. If you work a job that requires you to do so, it may be a good idea to change professions.
Controlling your diabetes: There has been some correlation between uncontrolled diabetes and trigger finger, and controlling diabetes can contribute to decreased recurrence
Hand exercises: Gentle and regular hand exercises
