Trigger Finger. A painful condition that causes catching or locking of a finger as it is extended. Trigger finger is due to overgrowth of tissue in the tendon sheath (the protective membrane) of the flexor muscles, the muscles that ordinarily allow fingers to curl. Also called flexor tenosynovitis, trigger finger is a fairly common complication of diabetes, especially long-standing diabetes.
People with certain medical problems, including diabetes, hypothyroidism, and rheumatoid arthritis, are more likely to develop trigger finger. The condition affects 2 to 3 percent of the population but 10 to 20 percent of those with diabetes. Its presence is associated with age and duration of diabetes, not with blood glucose control. In people with type 1 diabetes, trigger finger has been linked to carpal tunnel syndrome.
