Repetitive trauma to a finger can result in compressive neuropathy of one or more digital nerves. The thumb is commonly affected in bowlers, hence the term "bowler's thumb". However, this condition can involve other fingers and non-bowlers. To our knowledge, none of the cases reported had undergone neurophysiologic testing. We describe the neurophysiologic findings in two patients who had a history consistent with digital neuropathy of the thumb.
