It’s uncommon for trigger finger to cause an infection. Rather the opposite is more likely to occur. If you developed an infection within your hand, this can cause generalized swelling of the hand. This swelling can then cause the tendon to swell up, making it difficult to pass within the tunnels of the poise system. You now have a definitive cause for trigger finger. This is true for any condition that can cause swelling of enhances just breaking a bone or being stung by a bee. It’s also not uncommon to develop trigger finger following common surgeries such as carpal tunnel release. While most trigger fingers occur for unknown reasons known as idiopathic, these types of trigger fingers have an underlying inciting event. If there’s a known cause, usually it is best to treat the underlying cause first. If there’s still trigger finger once the swelling has gone down, then we proceed to treat the trigger finger.
