Trigger Finger 23-Mar-2007 At 2:31:53 PM nikolisper

I ve had trigger finger syndrome on my left middle finger for as long as I ve been climbing. For those that dont know its basically a condition where the finger locks off in the curled position and cannot open by its self link here. I ve been told by an osteo/climber that this results from too much crimping.
Anyway I saw a plastic surgeon (hand specialist) who confirmed the trigger finger syndrome and suggested an operation where the tendon sheath is expanded to allow free movement of the tendon inside it. The specialist says that operation is a permannet solution unlike cortizone where the condition is likely to come back.

My question is has anyone done this operation and got back into climbing after it? Did problems show up again? Did things become worse?
The doc couldnt really convince me on the above since he was not aware of climbing etc.
