Trigger finger in a hereditary multiple exostoses disease: A unique case report

Abstract

Trigger finger is one of the most common upper extremity problems seen by hand surgeons. Lesions occupying space in the tendon bed can prevent tendon gliding. We describe a unique case of trigger finger in a patient known for a hereditary multiple exostoses disease where an exostosis in the tendon bed constricted the tendon sheath, leading to triggering and locking. Open surgical treatment was performed by removing of the exostosis which relieved the problem.

Level of Evidence: Level V, therapeutic study.
