Trigger Finger Release

What is Trigger Finger?

Trigger finger is a condition in which one or more fingers gets stuck in a bent position. The finger may bend or straighten with a snap – like a trigger being pulled and released. Trigger finger is also known as stenosing tenosynovitis.

Trigger Finger Release (TFR) with Ultrasound Guidance

Trigger finger can be treated through a procedure called trigger finger release.

This procedure involves releasing the pulley of the affected finger to allow the tendon to glide more freely and may be recommended if non-surgical treatment options do not offer improvement.

Using a device called UltraGuideTFR – and real-time ultrasound guidance – your doctor can perform TF in a matter of minutes through one small incision. After the procedure, you’ll be able to resume normal activities as tolerated. And, most patients experience immediate relief of symptoms. 1-3

My experience with Dr. Couvillon and his team was very positive. I was nervous and apprehensive about my UFE procedure but Dr. Couvillon and his entire team have the medical knowledge and people skills that put my uneasiness to rest quickly. I would recommend this practice to my friends and family. I’m grateful for such a positive medical experience with this facility.

Dr. Couvillon is a genius. He found the reason for my pain and after the procedure, I was 100% better. I can eat again. The tech was thorough and I felt confident in the results. She is the best. I am thankful that I was able to connect with Winchester Radiologists. Courtney, thank you for scheduling me so quickly. Dr. Fox, thank you for your amazing kindness and persistence in scheduling my procedure.

Dr. Jahed is a wonderful physician. I was seen by him for pain in my thumb caused by internal swelling around the connection to the hand. He explained what was causing my pain and the best treatment. He gave me my second injection today, my first one was about 5months ago. When he gives the injection, it is not painful at all. He listens and explains things very well. I recommend Dr. Jahed highly – a wonderful physician.
