Stenosing tenosynovitis also referred to as trigger finger (trigger thumb when occurring in the thumb), is the inflammation of the flexor tendon which bends the finger. The tendon runs within a sheath, and during inflammation, the sheath tightens, causing difficulty in the movement of the tendon. This results in pain, stiffness, and at times a “locking” during bending or extension of the finger.
Stenosing Tenosynovitis Causes
Although the cause is not always known, typical causes include:
Repetitive hand use: Ongoing gripping, pinching, or performing tasks that demand extensive hand utilization.
Medical conditions:
- Diabetes: Raises risk, though the reason for this association is unknown.
- Rheumatoid arthritis: Long-term inflammation helps thicken the tendon sheath.
- Gout: Crystal deposits may irritate tendons.
- Age and Gender: More frequent in people 40–60 years of age, particularly females.
Stenosing Tenosynovitis Symptoms
The severity and course of symptoms may vary:
- Tenderness and pain at the base of the involved finger or thumb, particularly upon pressing on the palm.
- Stiffness of the finger, especially on waking or following periods of rest.
- Clicking or popping feel when flexing the finger.
- Locking of the finger in flexion, which can then suddenly extend with a snap.
- Palpable nodule or mass at the base of the finger, proximal to the palm.
