Pediatric Trigger Thumb or Congenital Trigger Thumb - Podcast from Hand Surgery Resource

In this podcast. Dr. Larry Hurst takes you through Pediatric Trigger Thumb. Pediatric trigger thumb is characterized by interphalangeal (IP) joint contracture and the presence of a flexor tendon nodule at the metacarpal head (Notta’s node). The pathophysiology is stenosing tenosynovitis of the flexor pollicis longus (FPL) tendon. There is ongoing debate as to whether the condition is present at birth or develops early postnatally. Results from numerous observational studies support the latter assertion.
