Abstract:
A trigger finger is commonly secondary to stenosing tenosynovitis at the A1 pulley. However, there have been occasional reports of triggering at other sites as well as from other etiologies. We describe a patient who suffered a triggering of the left middle finger at the A3 pulley due to the solitary synovial chondromatosis obstructing the flexor tendon from gliding.
