Multiple trigger fingers in a musician: a case report

ABSTRACT

Trigger finger is a common disease which particularly occurs in middle-aged women. We present a rare case of a male musician with six trigger fingers [five in the left hand and one in the right hand]. Mostly these fingers had been used for playing the guitar.The patient had previously been treated with local steroid injections in his fingers, however no response was seen. Therefore, we performed a surgical procedure. Four weeks after surgery, the patient could play the guitar without discomfort in his hands
