Trigger finger is the name of the pathological condition of the fingers of the hand, in which the patient reports that one of his fingers closes but does not open easily or opens but encounters difficulty when bending.

Essentially, it is due to the thickening of the sheath of the tendons responsible for bending the fingers of the hand.

The causes that cause the manifestation of this condition are not completely clear, while there are reasonable suspicions of a direct relationship with other diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes.

The symptoms of this condition can occur at any time and include:

• • pain at the base of the thumb,
  • pain at the base of the fingers
  • clamping at the base of the finger
  • fingertip numbness
  • fingertip numbness

The recommended treatment, depending on the extent of the problem and the pain felt by the patient, includes:

• conservative treatment: it is recommended for as long as the patient can close and stretch the affected finger without the help of the other hand.
  • drug treatment: anti-inflammatory, etc.
  • intraarticular steroid injection e.g. cortisone
  • finger immobilization using a specialized splint
• surgical treatment
