I had trigger finger with my left little finger. My PCP recomended surgery. He said that if he had to have surgery on his hands this was only sugeon he would go to. Several years now, and, no problems. He even showed me how to minimize scar tissue. Theres no scar at all. Be prepared to have bandage for a while. That worked out well for me. I used that time for some well needed practice on lap steel!
