  https://www.assh.org/handcare/condition/trigger-finger

  Some symptoms of trigger finger can include: […] Pain: Trigger finger may start with discomfort felt at the base of the affected finger or thumb, where the finger joins the palm. This may be the only initial symptom. This pain occurs with pressure over the A1 pulley area. The pain is often only present with activity such as gripping. When at rest, it may not hurt. Over time, if there is increased fluid production in the tendon sheath, this may cause pressure and pain even without hand use. […] Swelling: Over time there may be the development of a lump at the A1 pulley. This can be due to a nodular swelling within the tendon or the development of a fluid filled cyst. The cyst is called a flexor sheath ganglion. […] Stiffness or loss of motion: A trigger finger may result in loss of the ability to bend the finger. This can be estimated by how far the tip of the finger is from the palm of the hand when the patient is asked to bend the finger as much as they can. This is most common in chronic, untreated trigger fingers. It can be painful to try and bend the finger due to the compression of the fluid. Over time, the person may start to avoid a bent position of the finger to limit pain. Trigger fingers can also result in loss of the ability to straighten the finger. Some patients will feel pain trying to fully straighten. When the joint does not fully straighten for several weeks, a ligament called the volar plate becomes shortened and limits motion.

• #18 5 Early Signs of Trigger Finger | Fresno| Regional Hand Center

  https://regionalhand.com/5-early-signs-of-trigger-finger-you-shouldnt-ignore/

  When pressure builds up in a swollen tendon sheath, it can force its way out through an opening (a tunnel) in the middle of the sheath that lets tendons glide over one another. The sudden release of this pressure makes a popping sound and is often heard when you touch your finger to the tip of your thumb. […] When you try to bend your affected finger, it may feel like something has “caught” and stopped it from moving. This may be because the tendon that moves that finger is partially trapped in its tunnel in the middle of a swollen tendon sheath. This causes mild locking every time you bend or straighten your finger – until pressure builds up so much that the tunnel can no longer contain it. This “catching” feeling can also affect other fingers and both hands, although the trigger finger usually only affects one hand at a time.

This may be the only initial symptom. This pain occurs with pressure over the A1 pulley area. The pain is often only present with activity such as gripping. When at rest, it may not hurt. Over time, if there is increased fluid production in the tendon sheath, this may cause pressure and pain even without hand use. […] Swelling: Over time there may be the development of a lump at the A1 pulley. This can be due to a nodular swelling within the tendon or the development of a fluid filled cyst. The cyst is called a flexor sheath ganglion. […] Stiffness or loss of motion: A trigger finger may result in loss of the ability to bend the finger. This can be estimated by how far the tip of the finger is from the palm of the hand when the patient is asked to bend the finger as much as they can.

• #65 5 Early Signs of Trigger Finger | Fresno| Regional Hand Center

  https://regionalhand.com/5-early-signs-of-trigger-finger-you-shouldnt-ignore/

  When pressure builds up in a swollen tendon sheath, it can force its way out through an opening (a tunnel) in the middle of the sheath that lets tendons glide over one another. The sudden release of this pressure makes a popping sound and is often heard when you touch your finger to the tip of your thumb. […] When you try to bend your affected finger, it may feel like something has “caught” and stopped it from moving. This may be because the tendon that moves that finger is partially trapped in its tunnel in the middle of a swollen tendon sheath. This causes mild locking every time you bend or straighten your finger – until pressure builds up so much that the tunnel can no longer contain it. This “catching” feeling can also affect other fingers and both hands, although the trigger finger usually only affects one hand at a time.

  Trigger finger (TF; also referred to as stenosing tenosynovitis), one of the most common causes of hand pain and disability, is a condition that causes pain, stiffness, and a sensation of locking or catching when the digit is flexed and extended. The patient may present with a digit locked in a particular position, most often flexion (bent position), which may require gentle, passive manipulation into full extension. […] TF results from thickening of the flexor tendon within the distal aspect of the palm. This thickening causes abnormal gliding and locking of the tendon within the tendon sheath. Specifically, the affected tendon is caught at the edge of the first anular (A1) pulley. […] Signs and symptoms of TF are as follows: Locking or catching during active flexion-extension activity (passive manipulation may be needed to extend the digit in the later stages), Stiff digit, especially in long-standing or neglected cases, Pain over the distal palm, Pain radiating along the digit, Triggering on active or passive extension by the patient, Palpable snapping sensation or crepitus over the A1 pulley, Tenderness over the A1 pulley, Palpable nodule in the line of the flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS), just distal to the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint in the palm, Fixed-flexion deformity in late presentations, especially in the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint, Evidence of associated conditions (eg, rheumatoid arthritis [RA], gout), Early signs of triggering in other digits (may be bilateral).

• #74 Trigger finger: etiology, evaluation, and treatment

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2684207/

  Trigger finger is a common finger aliment, thought to be caused by inflammation and subsequent narrowing of the A1 pulley, which causes pain, clicking, catching, and loss of motion of the affected finger. […] The initial complaint associated with trigger finger may be of a painless clicking with digital manipulation. Further development of the condition can cause the catching or popping to become painful with both flexion and extension, and be related as occurring at either the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) or PIP joints. Other patients may notice a feeling of stiffness and then progressive loss of full flexion and/or extension of the affected digit without ever developing the catching and locking of a typical trigger finger. […] Over time, the patients desire to avoid the painful triggering caused by manipulation or use of the involved digit may lead to the development of secondary PIP contractures and digital stiffness.

• #78 Trigger Finger – Trigger Thumb – OrthoInfo – AAOS

  https://orthoinfo.aaos.org/en/diseases–conditions/trigger-finger/

  In a patient with trigger finger, the A1 pulley becomes inflamed and thickened, making it harder for the flexor tendon to glide through it as the finger bends. Over time, the flexor tendon may also become inflamed and develop a small nodule on its surface, further aggravating the condition. When the digit flexes and the thickened nodule passes through the tight pulley, there is a sensation of catching or popping. This is often painful. […] In a severe case of trigger finger, the digit locks and becomes stuck in a bent position. Sometimes the patient must use their other hand to straighten the finger or thumb manually. […] In the worst cases, the digit can’t be straightened at all without intervention by a healthcare provider.

  Trigger finger is caused by inflammation of the tendon sheaths and tendons at the base of each finger in the palm. When the tendon surface is injured, inflamed, and swollen (Injury and Inflammation), moving the finger becomes painful. Over time, inflammation leads to healing, causing fibrosis and scar formation (Fibrosis and Scar Formation). The scar tissue compresses the tendon sheath, increasing friction and causing repeated inflammation, swelling, and fibrosis, resulting in a narrower tendon sheath and trigger finger, which can occur in both hands.

• #81 Trigger Finger (Stenosing Tenosynovitis)

  https://www.massgeneral.org/orthopaedics/hand/conditions-and-treatments/trigger-finger-stenosing-tenosynovitis

  Trigger finger/thumb may start with discomfort felt at the base of the finger or thumb, where they join the palm. This area is often tender to local pressure. A nodule may sometimes be found in this area. When the finger begins to trigger or lock, the patient may think the problem is at the middle knuckle of the finger or the tip knuckle of the thumb, since the tendon that is sticking is the one that moves these joints. […] Trigger finger occurs when the pulley at the base of the finger becomes too thick and constricting around the tendon, making it hard for the tendon to move freely through the pulley. Sometimes the tendon develops a nodule (knot) or swelling of its lining. Because of the increased resistance to the gliding of the tendon through the pulley, one may feel pain, popping, or a catching feeling in the finger or thumb. The catching or triggering action is distinctive. When the tendon catches, it produces inflammation and more swelling. This causes a vicious cycle of triggering, inflammation, and swelling. Sometimes the finger becomes stuck or locked, and is hard to straighten or bend.

• #82 Trigger Finger: What is? Symptoms, Causes, & Treatment | The Hand Society

  https://www.assh.org/handcare/condition/trigger-finger

  Some symptoms of trigger finger can include: […] Pain: Trigger finger may start with discomfort felt at the base of the affected finger or thumb, where the finger joins the palm. This may be the only initial symptom. This pain occurs with pressure over the A1 pulley area. The pain is often only present with activity such as gripping. When at rest, it may not hurt. Over time, if there is increased fluid production in the tendon sheath, this may cause pressure and pain even without hand use. […] Swelling: Over time there may be the development of a lump at the A1 pulley. This can be due to a nodular swelling within the tendon or the development of a fluid filled cyst. The cyst is called a flexor sheath ganglion. […] Stiffness or loss of motion: A trigger finger may result in loss of the ability to bend the finger. This can be estimated by how far the tip of the finger is from the palm of the hand when the patient is asked to bend the finger as much as they can. This is most common in chronic, untreated trigger fingers. It can be painful to try and bend the finger due to the compression of the fluid. Over time, the person may start to avoid a bent position of the finger to limit pain. Trigger fingers can also result in loss of the ability to straighten the finger. Some patients will feel pain trying to fully straighten. When the joint does not fully straighten for several weeks, a ligament called the volar plate becomes shortened and limits motion.

  The symptoms of trigger finger or thumb include pain and a funny clicking sensation when the finger or thumb is bent. Pain usually occurs when the finger or thumb is bent and straightened. Tenderness usually occurs over the area of the nodule, at the bottom of the finger or thumb. The clicking sensation occurs when the nodule moves through the tunnel formed by the pulley ligaments. With the finger straight, the nodule is at the far edge of the surrounding ligament. When the finger is flexed, the nodule passes under the ligament and causes the clicking sensation. If the nodule becomes too large it may pass under the ligament, but it gets stuck at the near edge. The nodule cannot move back through the tunnel, and the finger is locked in the flexed trigger position. […] The diagnosis of trigger finger and thumb is usually quite obvious on physical examination. Usually a palpable click can be felt as the nodule snaps under the first finger pulley. If the condition is allowed to progress, the nodule may swell to the point where it gets caught and the finger is locked in a bent, or flexed, position. No special tests or X-rays are required. […] Without intervention, trigger finger can progress rapidly, leading to a scenario where your thumb and another finger become immobilized in a bent or straight position. In severe instances, you may find it challenging to straighten your finger without assistance from your other hand.
