Hello,
Thanks for your query.
If cortisone injection does not work for trigger thumb, then cure can be done by surgery(release of pulley).I suggest you to consult an orthopaedic surgen for proper management.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
