Congenital trigger digits, rare in non-thumb fingers, were treated in a nine-year-old boy. Surgery revealed slight flexor pulley thickening and fusiform flexor tendon swelling.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Orthopedics
  • Hand Surgery
  • Congenital Hand Anomalies

Background:

  • Congenital trigger digits typically affect the thumb.
  • Triggering of other digits is uncommon, presenting unique clinical challenges.

Observation:

  • A nine-year-old boy presented with multiple congenital trigger digits, including non-thumb digits.
  • This case highlights a rare manifestation of congenital triggering.

Findings:

  • Operative findings included mild thickening of the flexor pulley system.
  • Noticeable fusiform swelling of the flexor tendons was observed at the A1 pulley region.

Implications:

  • Understanding the pathology of rare congenital trigger digits is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
