Abstract

Trigger finger (TF) is a condition that affects quality of life and one of the most common causes of hand pain and disability. TF is characterized by catching, snapping or locking of the involved finger flexor tendon, associated with pain. TF in the children occurs rarely than in adults and partial tendon laceration is an uncommon cause of TF in the children. Thus, our aim in this study to define TF due to partial flexor tendon laceration in a child.
