Trigger Finger – Trigger Thumb – Trigger Finger Tendonitis

Trigger finger is a form of repetitive strain injury most typically found in older individuals who already suffering from Osteoarthritis. At one time medical practitioners viewed trigger finger tendonitis as a direct by-product of Osteoarthritis itself; however, within the last few years, trigger finger has begun to affect younger generations who are not experiencing Osteoarthritis symptoms. This suggests, therefore, that the disorder can also result from causes related to work or to other daily activities.

But what is trigger finger, exactly, and how can its symptoms be reduced or eliminated?

Trigger finger is caused by overuse of the hands, usually in a repetitive pattern, and can affect any or even several of the fingers. Excessive strain in the hands causes scar tissue to build up on the tendon. This in turn results in symptoms ranging from a snapping or jerking of the fingers to severe pain. These symptoms may also be accompanied by the fingers locking in a position flexed downward towards the palm. The locking phenomenon occurs when the tendons form an adhesion that becomes larger than the tendon sheath’s entrance, impeding the finger’s normal range of motion.

Trigger finger treatment options vary depending on the severity of the condition. Milder cases can successfully be treated by simple stretching and strengthening exercises. Over time, these exercises break down the adhesion on the affected tendon and relieve the symptom of finger locking. In more advanced or extreme cases, however, trigger finger surgery is often recommended as a more lasting means of ensuring relief. This is frequently the case when the patient has allowed symptoms to go ignored and untreated for some time, making the condition too severe for exercises and stretching alone to be effective. Consult your physician to determine whether trigger finger surgery is a viable option for you.
