Carpal Tunnel Release and Trigger Finger Release Surgery in Andover, KS

Trigger finger release surgery and carpal tunnel release surgery are both procedures aimed at relieving hand discomfort caused by restricted tendon or nerve movement due to inflammation or compression.

Trigger finger release surgery treats stenosing tenosynovitis, a condition where inflammation in the tendon sheath of the finger causes stiffness or the finger staying in a curled position. The surgery involves making an incision to open the tendon sheath, allowing the tendon to move freely.

Carpal tunnel release surgery addresses pressure on the median nerve, which causes pain, numbness, and weakness in the hand. This procedure involves making one or more incisions in the wrist to cut the carpal ligament, enlarging the carpal tunnel and relieving pressure on the nerve.
