 Background
 Trigger finger (TF) is one of the most common upper
limb problems to be encountered in orthopedic
practice and is also one of the most common causes
of hand pain and disability.
 It results from thickening of the flexor tendon within
the distal aspect of the palm. This thickening causes
abnormal gliding of the tendon within the tendon
sheath. Specifically, the affected tendon is caught at
the edge of the first anular (A1) pulley.
Anatomy
 Definition

Stenosing tenosynovitis (often

called trigger finger, trigger
thumb, stenosing tenovaginitis) is a
painful condition caused by the
inflammation (tenosynovitis) and
progressive restriction of the
superficial and deep flexors
fibrous tendon sheath adjacent to
A1 pulley at a metacarpal head.
 Epidemiology

 TF is a relatively common condition and occurs two to six

times more frequently in women than in men.
 Several series found the peak incidence of trigger digit to
be in individuals aged 55-60 years.
 TF increase in computing activities and repetitive tasks.
 TF in the pediatric population occurs much less frequently
than in adults and develops almost exclusively in the thumb
 Most common in ring finger, thumb, long, index, and small
finger
