Trigger Finger & Trigger Thumb This is a trigger finger before being managed with a simple non surgical method as was the trigger thumb to the left.

Dupuytren's Disease Dupuytren ' s contracture is a fairly common disorder of the fingers. It most often affects the ring or little finger, sometimes both, and often in both hands. In the condition a nodule first appears in the palm. This may be of minor irritation. Slowly a finger is drawn down toward the palm or wrist. This problem is caused by the connective tissue (fascia) in the palms and fingers becoming thicken and contracting like a scar until it is too short and thick to allow free movement of the fingers. It is called Dupuytren ' s contracture because of the doctor who first described it. Baron Guillaume Dupuytren, a French surgeon, described the surgical treatment for the disease now bearing his name in 1832, and reported it in Lancet in 1834. The cause of it is not understood even today, but some things have been learned in recent years.
