How long is the recovery period following trigger finger surgery?
The finger and palm recover significantly in a week and gets better gradually. However, patients have to wait for 2 to 3 months to regain full finger strength. They can return to sedentary jobs after 3-4 days. But it is advised to have a 6-week break for jobs requiring repeated finger use, high-strength grasping, or hand vibration. Patients can start using keyboards or drive without pain after a week and play racquet sports in 3 weeks. They can join manual labor after 3-4 weeks. All stiffness goes in 6 months assuring complete recovery.
