Trigger finger (TF) is a disorder characterized by snapping or locking a finger. It has a prevalence of greater than 3% in the general population; however, this estimate could be increased to 5% up to 20% in diabetic patients. Some unreal ambiguity about definition, pathophysiology, site of lesion, and etiology are found among researchers and clinicians, leading to a lack of understanding of all aspects of the disease and improper management as many clinicians proceed to anti-inflammatory medications or steroids injection without in-depth patient evaluation. Original articles cited up to 2022, found through a Google search using the specified keywords, have been used in this review. Close-access articles were accessed through our researcher account with the Egyptian Knowledge Bank. In this review, we will focus on pathophysiology to present all possible findings and etiology to represent all risk factors and associated diseases to assess and confirm a diagnosis and the exact location of pathology hence better treatment modalities and reducing the recurrence of the pathology.
扳机指（Trigger Finger，TF）是一种以手指突然弹响或卡住为特征的疾病。在普通人群中的患病率大于 3%；然而，在糖尿病患者中，这一估计值可能会增加到 5%至 20%。在研究人员和临床医生中，对于定义、病理生理学、病变部位和病因存在一些不明确的情况，导致对疾病的各个方面缺乏了解，以及许多临床医生在没有深入评估患者的情况下，就开始使用抗炎药物或类固醇注射进行不当治疗。本综述中使用了截至 2022 年通过谷歌搜索指定关键词找到的原始文章。通过我们的研究人员账户在埃及知识库中访问了可获取的文章。在这篇综述中，我们将重点关注病理生理学，以呈现所有可能的发现和病因，以代表所有的风险因素和相关疾病，以评估和确认诊断以及病理学的确切位置，从而提供更好的治疗方式，并减少病理学的复发。
