Abstract

Trigger thumb is a rare anomaly during childhood. The definite diagnosis is made based on the medical history and physical examination. Treatment is conservative or surgical. Conservative management includes passive flexion and extensionwith stretching exercises, corticosteroid injections, and splinting. Surgical management includes A1 pulley release.
