Does trigger thumb surgery work?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: If you have a trigger finger which has failed conservative treatment such as nsiad, local injections or therapy, you will need a surgical release which can work quite well.

Yes: It is usually very successful. The long-term success rate following trigger finger/thumb surgery is about 98%.
