Soon after surgery: Trigger finger surgery often involves an incision requiring one to weeks to heal following surgery. Avoiding lifting with the affected hand can help ensure that the wound will heal appropriately. Typing, dialing a telephone, and other non-loading activities may commence immediately following surgery. Once sutures are removed at one to two weeks following surgery, all activities may resume.

Depends on treatment: With the traditional procedures it is usually within 2 weeks however with some of the minimal invasive procedures such as endoscopic or percutaneous procedures there are no sutures that need removal and activity including working is allowed within the first week.
