Trigger Finger

-

Trigger finger or can be called inflammation of the finger joints is a condition that causes pain, stiffness and the sensation of locking when bending or straightening a finger.

This condition is also known as ‘stenosing tenosynovitis’ which usually occurs most often on the ring finger and thumb, but also does not rule out attacking other fingers.

In people who have trigger fingers reported by the American Academic of Orthopedic Surgeon, the pulley at the base of the thumb is inflamed or thickened. So it is difficult for the flexor tendons to pass through when the fingers are bent.

Sometimes patients also have to use the other hand to straighten their fingers.

The initial symptoms of a trigger finger can include:

  1. Pain attached to the base of the thumb or other fingers
  2. Lumps around the base of the finger or near the palm of the hand
  3. A click on the finger
  4. Finger stiffness

If the patient does not immediately get treatment, symptoms of trigger finger can develop more severe. Usually the symptoms also tend to get worse in the morning.

Trigger fingers can occur due to repetitive movements or the forced use of fingers or thumbs.

This condition can also occur when tendons or tissue bands that connect the muscles and bones in the fingers or thumb get inflamed.

Long-term irritation of the tendon sheath can cause scarring and thickening which affects tendon movement.


Some conditions and habits of a person can also increase their risk of experiencing a trigger finger, including:

  1. Age, this finger problem usually attacks people aged 40 to 60 years.
  2. Sex, this disease usually attacks women more often than men.
  3. Health conditions, a history of diabetes, gout and rheumatoid arthritis can cause trigger fingers.
  4. Jobs, usually people who work as farmers, industrial workers, musicians or other jobs that use a lot of fingers are more at risk of experiencing trigger fingers.
  5. Carpal tunnel syndrome surgery, the first 6 months after people undergoing carpal tunnel syndrome surgery will usually experience a trigger finger.
