TRIGGERING CAUSED BY COMPLETE TRANSECTION OF ONE SLIP OF THE FLEXOR DIGITORUM SUPERFICIALIS TENDON: A CASE REPORT
Abstract
Trigger finger was observed in a patient with a healed laceration at the palmar-digital crease of the left long finger. Examination revealed complete transection of the ulnar slip of the FDS tendon. The proximal ulnar slip was excised and the cut edge tapered, which restored a full range of motion without triggering.
