Trigger finger explained| locking finger | #3facts Trigger finger (stenosing flexor tenosynovitis)is a disorder characterised by intermittent triggering or locking of the finger or thumb with or without pain, generally occurring in the palm at the level of the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint. Triggering occasionally appears to start after an injury such as a knock on the hand. There is little evidence that it is caused by work activities, but the pain can certainly be aggravated by hand use at work, at home, in the garden or at sport. People with insulin-dependent diabetes are especially prone to triggering, but most trigger digits occur in people without diabetes.Triggering is sometimes due to tendon nodules in people known to have rheumatoid arthritis. More common in women over the age of 40 Treatment: avoid aggravating activities, splint, steroids, surgery
