Can trigger finger happen after carpal tunnel surgery?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Recent research just published within the last few months does show an increased risk of developing trigger finger after carpal tunnel surgery. The biomechanics of the tendons going through the carpal tunnel are altered slightly after the surgery which can in fact increase the risk of developing trigger finger.
