What is Trigger Finger (aka. stenosing
tenosynovitis or stenosing tenovaginosis)
Trigger finger is a condition making it difficult to bend
an affected finger or
thumb as one or more of the hand's TENDONS can not move freely through the TENDON SHEATHS -
the tendon can then bunch up and get "caught" in the
tendon sheath "tunnel" it runs
through. This can affect movement of the affected
finger or thumb and can also cause the finger / thumb joints to get stuck
in a bent position, which results in a painful click or pop when it straightens.
Usually affects the thumb, ring finger or little finger
One
or more fingers can be affected
May develop in both hands -
more common in the right hand (likely because most people are right-handed)
