S/P Trigger Finger Release

$74.97
Definition:
The goal of surgery is to widen the opening of the tunnel so that the tendon can slide through it more easily. The surgery is performed through a small incision in the palm or sometimes with the tip of a needle. The tendon sheath tunnel is cut. When it heals back together, the sheath is looser and the tendon has more room to move through it.
