Tendons are fibrous cords that attach muscle to bone. Usually, tendons slide easily in their individual surrounding protective sheath, called a \u201c<strong>tendon sheath<\/strong>\u201d. The sheath keeps the tendons in place next to the bones of the finger, preventing \u201cbowstringing\u201d of the tendon. With trigger finger, the tendon sheath becomes irritated and inflamed. This interferes with the normal gliding motion of the tendon through the sheath. As a result, the tendon gets <strong>stuck<\/strong>. A nodule or bump may also form on the tendon, which makes gliding of the tendon through its sheath more difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized has-custom-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Trigger-finger.jpg\" alt=\"Hand with Trigger finger\" class=\"wp-image-4381\" style=\"border-radius:10px;aspect-ratio:1.5;width:503px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Etiology is not very clear.

This is a different entity than adult triggering, and is due to thickening of the <strong>FPL<\/strong>, or flexor policis longus. Trigger thumb can be flexible or rigid. It is not painful. Bracing can be attempted in flexible trigger thumb.
