What Can Be Reason For Twitching In The Finger?

My husband has noticed off and on for a couple years that his left pinky finger is twitching. In the past 6 months it has progressively become more consistent and pronounced. He is awaiting a SI joint fusion and has had a back fusion of L4/5 and 2 hip replacements in past 2 years. Could this be symptomatic of these issues or more likely something else or possible Parkinson s?
