Trigger Finger

Do not delay the treatment of trigger finger

Trigger finger, medically known as stenosing tenosynovitis, is a common problem that can significantly limit hand mobility and complicate everyday activities. The typical symptom is the finger “catching” when bending or straightening, often accompanied by pain and an audible click when the finger suddenly snaps into the correct position.

At Medical Institut, we specialise in modern and gentle treatment of trigger finger, always tailored to the extent of the problem. In the early stages, conservative treatment may help, such as splints, rehabilitation or injection of medications that reduce swelling and allow the tendon to move more freely. If these methods are insufficient, we offer a gentle minimally invasive surgical procedure in which the narrowed tendon sheath is released and the finger can move freely again.

Before & After

Jak probíhá léčba lupavých prstů

  • Celý proces začíná pečlivým ortopedickým vyšetřením, při kterém lékař zhodnotí rozsah potíží, zjistí, které šlachy jsou zúžené, a posoudí, zda je možné začít s konzervativní léčbou, nebo zda je potřeba miniinvazivní zákrok.
  • V počátečních stádiích lupavého prstu se často doporučuje konzervativní léčba, která zahrnuje klidový režim, použití ortéz nebo dlahy, které šetří postižený prst, a také aplikaci injekcí s protizánětlivými léky nebo kortikoidy, které zmírní otok a zánět.
  • Velkou roli hraje i rehabilitace a jemné cvičení, které pomáhá zlepšit pohyblivost šlachy a obnovit její hladký pohyb v pouzdře.
  • Pokud konzervativní metody nestačí nebo se prst opakovaně blokuje, lékař doporučí miniinvazivní chirurgický zákrok.
  • Ten spočívá v drobném uvolnění zúženého šlachového pouzdra — díky tomu se šlacha opět volně pohybuje a prst se přestane zasekávat.
  • Zákrok se provádí v lokální anestezii, je rychlý a většina pacientů může už pár dní po zákroku ruku postupně zatěžovat.
  • Po ošetření dostanete doporučení na rehabilitaci, která pomůže obnovit plnou funkčnost prstu a minimalizuje riziko, že se problém vrátí.

Expert opinion

MUDr. Petr Skála

"Trigger finger (also known as stenosing tenosynovitis) is a condition in which painful snapping or locking of the tendon occurs during finger movement. The problem most commonly arises as a result of inflammation or thickening of the tendon sheath and can significantly restrict hand mobility. At Medical Institut we place great emphasis on accurate diagnosis and an individual approach, so that the most appropriate conservative or interventional treatment is chosen and smooth, pain-free finger movement is restored."

Frequently asked questions

How long does the procedure take and is it painful?

The procedure usually takes 30 to 60 minutes and is performed in completely comfortable conditions. We apply a numbing cream before the treatment, so you only feel minimal discomfort.

When will I see the first results?

You will usually notice the first improvement within a few days to weeks after the initial treatment. For optimal results, we recommend a series of sessions according to an individual plan.

What is the cost and how many sessions will I need?

The exact number of treatments and total cost are determined after an initial consultation with our specialist. Typically, it involves 3–6 sessions at intervals of several weeks.

Are there any risks or contraindications?

The procedure is among the safest methods. Before the first treatment, we will discuss your health condition and evaluate any contraindications. Slight redness at the injection site is common and subsides quickly.
