Trigger Finger Surgery Prices London · Harley Street
How many fingers lock, whether an injection is tried first and how your diabetes or joints behave all shape your trigger finger quote from Ms Anna De Leo.
How much does trigger finger surgery cost in London?
The cost of trigger finger treatment in London varies with what each finger needs. A first steroid injection often resolves triggering, while persistent or recurrent locking is treated by releasing the A1 pulley under wide-awake local anaesthetic. The number of fingers or thumbs treated, any fixed bend at the middle joint and hand therapy also matter. Ms Anna De Leo assesses you at 64 Harley Street and then sends a written quote.

What a Trigger Finger Surgery quote includes
Your written quote from Harley Street is itemised, so you can see exactly what is covered.
- Surgeon's feeMs De Leo's fee for releasing the tight A1 pulley at the base of the affected finger or thumb, checking that the tendon glides freely before closing.
- Wide-awake local anaestheticLocal anaesthetic without a tourniquet or sedation, which allows you to bend and straighten the finger on the table to confirm the triggering has gone.
- Day-case procedure roomA sterile operating environment and nursing support for a procedure that usually takes only a short time per finger.
- DressingA small, light dressing that leaves the fingers free, so you can begin moving them gently straight away as advised.
- Wound check and stitch removalA post-operative review of the small palm incision, removal of sutures and guidance on massaging the scar to reduce tenderness when gripping.
- Movement reviewA check that the finger now bends and straightens fully, with a referral for hand therapy if stiffness at the middle joint needs extra attention.
What affects Trigger Finger Surgery prices in London
These are the factors Ms De Leo considers when preparing your personalised quote.
Injection or release
For many people, a single steroid injection into the tendon sheath settles a trigger finger for good, especially when symptoms are recent. If triggering returns or does not improve, surgical release offers a more lasting solution. Whether you are quoted for an injection, a release or both depends on your history and on what you prefer after discussion with Ms De Leo.
Number of fingers or thumbs treated
Trigger finger frequently affects more than one digit, sometimes on both hands. Several fingers on one hand can usually be released in the same session, while operating on both hands at once may limit what you can do for a few days. The number of digits treated is one of the clearest influences on your written quote.
Diabetes and inflammatory arthritis
Trigger finger is more common, and can be more persistent, in people with diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis. Injections may be less effective, and in some cases the tendon itself needs attention during surgery, for example removing inflamed tissue around it. These conditions are considered when planning treatment and preparing the quote.
Fixed bend at the middle joint
When a finger has been locked for months, the middle joint may lose the ability to straighten fully. Releasing the pulley stops the triggering, but regaining extension can need splinting and a course of hand therapy, and occasionally additional release of the joint. The degree of fixed bend is measured at consultation and factored into the plan.
Trigger thumb and children
Trigger thumb in adults is released in a similar way, but care is needed to protect the digital nerves, which lie close to the pulley. Trigger thumb in young children is a different condition, often observed first and treated under general anaesthetic if needed. Paediatric cases receive a separate assessment and a quote that reflects these differences.
Beyond the price: choosing well
Trigger finger release is brief, but the incision lies within millimetres of the nerves that give each finger its feeling. An incomplete release leaves the finger catching, and dividing too much of the pulley system can let the tendon bowstring and weaken grip. Choosing carefully between injection and surgery, and then performing a precise release, matters more than the cost of any one step. Ms Anna De Leo, a hand surgeon with a European Diploma in Hand Surgery and a Master's in Reconstructive Microsurgery, uses the wide-awake technique to check the result as you move. ADLSynergy can add scar therapy and massage if the palm remains tender afterwards.
