TRAUMATIC TRIGGER FINGER – A RARE CASE REPORT

Abstract

Trigger finger can significantly impede daily life, resulting in disability, pain, and discomfort. In most cases, it is idiopathic. Symptomatic idiopathic trigger finger is usually operated. Secondary trigger finger is a rare occurrence and is often misdiagnosed and mishandled. In this case, we present a patient whose trigger finger is attributed to a partial flexor tendon injury. A secondary trigger finger resulting from a partial flexor tendon injury is uncommon and may go unnoticed during the initial assessment. Here, we stress the importance of diagnosis and need for exploration in suitable cases.
