Thread Trigger Finger Release

Unlock Relief from Trigger Finger—Without Surgery 

Trigger finger, or stenosing tenosynovitis, causes painful locking or snapping of the fingers. It occurs when a swollen tendon or sheath prevents smooth movement, often resulting in stiffness, popping, or a bent finger that suddenly straightens. 

Common in: 

  • Women
  • Adults over 45
  • People with diabetes, arthritis, or repetitive hand use 

The Guo Technique: Thread trigger finger release is a minimally invasive procedure developed by Drs. Danqing and Danzhu Guo. Using ultrasound guidance, a smooth thread is looped around the affected tendon and gently manipulated to release it—no scalpel, no incision. 

Advantages: 

  • In-office procedure with local anesthetic
  • Minimal pain and downtime
  • Most patients resume normal activities within 1–2 days* 

*Individual results may vary. Discuss your recovery expectations with your doctor.
