Introduction
Stenosing tendinosis/tenosynovitis (trigger finger /trigger thumb) is a relatively common cause of pain and disability presenting in General Practice, Rheumathology-, andOrthopaedic Clinics. It presents with pain, popping, catching feeling and limited finger movement. Significant thickening of the A1 flexor tendon pulley thus restricting its motion causes it. It can be primary or associated with condition such as diabetes, gout, repetitive finger stress, etc.
