Abstract
Stenosing tenosynovitis of the digit or trigger finger is a common condition in the hand that occurs idiopathically or in association with other disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, diabetes mellitus, and gout. The patient typically experiences pain at the A1 pulley or locking of the digit that may lead to contracture, but these symptoms can often be relieved by splinting or local injection of corticosteroid.l-3 We report a case of rupture of the flexor pollicis longus tendon (FPL) in a patient with a trigger thumb.
