a disorder characterized by catching, snapping, or locking of the involved finger flexor tendon, associated with dysfunction and pain
Trigger finger, trigger thumb, trigger digit, stenosing tenosynovitis
Caused by a disparity in size between the flexor tendon and the surrounding retinacular pulley system that results in difficulty flexing or extending the finger
Trigger finger
May affect more than one finger at a time, but usually affects the index, middle, or ring fingers, or the thumb

Brachioradialis OIAI?
Origin: humerus
Insertion: radius (near styloid process)
Action: flexes forearm at elbow; supinates and pronates forearm (back to neutral). When the forearm is pronated, it tends to supinate when flexed; when the forearm is supinated it tends to pronate. For this reason, it is known as the “beer drinker muscle.”
Innervation: radial nerve
elicited during a neurological exam by striking the brachioradialis tendon near its insertion at the base of the wrist near the radial styloid process directly with a reflex hammer, with the patient’s arm relaxed
Brachioradialis reflex
results in a slight wrist extension and/or radial deviation, supination, and slight elbow flexion

carried by the radial nerve
