Trigger finger at the carpal tunnel level: three case reports

Abstract

Although trigger finger occurs mostly due to a problem at the A1 pulley various other causes have also been reported. We present three patients with different tumors at the carpal tunnel as a cause of triggering. All patients were treated with local excision.
