Trigger Finger Release (TFR) with Ultrasound Guidance
What is Trigger Finger?
Trigger finger, also known as stenosing tenosynovitis, is a condition that causes pain, stiffness, or a locking sensation when bending or straightening the finger. It occurs when inflammation narrows the space within the sheath surrounding the tendon in the affected finger, making movement difficult or painful.
TFR with Ultrasound Guidance - Sonex Health
We offer a minimally invasive, in-office* Trigger Finger Release (TFR) using ultrasound guidance to increase precision and reduce trauma to surrounding tissues. This technique allows for faster recovery and excellent outcomes in a comfortable clinical setting.
Benefits of Ultrasound-Guided TFR:
- Minimally invasive
- Performed in the office – no hospital or surgery center required
- Shorter recovery time
- No general anesthesia
- More cost-effective than surgery center procedures
Carpal Tunnel Release (CTR) with Ultrasound Guidance
What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a common condition caused by compression of the median nerve as it travels through the wrist. Symptoms include numbness, tingling, weakness, and pain in the hand and wrist, often worsening with repetitive hand use or at night.
