Trigger finger, also known as stiff and painful finger, is a condition in which a finger has difficulty straightening or bending due to inflammation of the finger tendon. Patients often experience pain, stiffness—especially in the morning—and a “locking” sensation when moving the finger. If not treated by the right trigger finger specialist, this condition can worsen over time, leading to limited finger movement, chronic pain, and even impaired hand function in daily activities.

WALANT: A Modern Method for Trigger Finger Treatment at Mandaya Royal Puri Hospital
The WALANT technique (Wide Awake Local Anesthesia No Tourniquet) is a modern procedure used to treat trigger finger without general anesthesia and without the use of a tourniquet. In this procedure, the doctor administers local anesthesia to the finger or palm area, allowing the patient to remain fully awake throughout the treatment. With the WALANT technique, the release of the inflamed tendon can be performed more precisely, with minimal pain and a higher level of comfort for the patient.
Advantages of the WALANT Technique for Trigger Finger include:
- No need for general anesthesia, reducing the risk of anesthesia-related side effects
- No tourniquet use, making the procedure more comfortable and minimizing discomfort from pressure
- Patients remain awake and can immediately move the finger to ensure normal tendon movement
- Faster and more efficient procedure
- Lower risk of bleeding due to the vasoconstrictive effect of the local anesthetic
- Shorter recovery time
- Safe for patients with certain medical conditions who are not advised to undergo general anesthesia
- Patients can usually return to daily activities and go home on the same day after the procedure
