  1. Trigger Finger and Its Causes – Insights from Dr. Divyanshu Trigger finger, or stenosing tenosynovitis, causes tendon inflammation in the finger, leading to stiffness and difficulty moving it. This can make everyday tasks like gripping or typing challenging. It’s often caused by repetitive hand movements, injuries, or conditions like diabetes and arthritis. If you're experiencing symptoms, consult Dr. Divyanshu, the Best Orthopaedic Doctor in Lucknow.

  2. What is Trigger Finger? Tendon Inflammation Limited Movement Trigger finger occurs when the tendon that controls finger movement becomes inflamed and thickened, causing it to get stuck in the sheath that surrounds it. This inflammation restricts the tendon's movement, resulting in a "locking" or "catching" sensation when attempting to straighten the finger.

  3. Causes of Trigger Finger Repetitive Hand Motions Certain Medical Conditions Trigger finger often results from overuse and repetitive hand movements, which can occur in jobs that require frequent gripping, pinching, or flexing the hand. Conditions like diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and carpal tunnel syndrome can increase the risk of developing trigger finger. Injury A past injury to the hand or finger can also contribute to the development of trigger finger.

  4. Risk Factors for Trigger Finger Age Gender Occupation Trigger finger is more common in middle-aged adults and older individuals. Women are more likely to develop trigger finger than men. Individuals in certain occupations, like construction workers and mechanics, are at higher risk.

  5. Symptoms and Diagnosis Clicking 1 The finger may "click" or "snap" when bending or straightening. Stiffness 2 The finger may feel stiff or difficult to move. Locking 3 The finger may suddenly lock in a bent position and become difficult to straighten. Diagnosis 4 A doctor can typically diagnose trigger finger through a physical exam, evaluating the hand and finger movement.

  6. Treatment Options Conservative Treatment Rest, splinting, and pain relievers are often the first line of treatment. Corticosteroid Injections Corticosteroid injections can help reduce inflammation and improve finger movement. Surgery Surgery may be recommended if conservative treatments are ineffective or if the condition is severe.

  7. Prevention and Lifestyle Modifications 1 2 3 Avoid Overuse Ergonomics Stretching Take breaks during activities that require repetitive hand movements. Use proper ergonomics when working or using tools to minimize strain. Regular hand and wrist stretching can help improve flexibility and reduce stiffness.
