Popis: Trigger digit is a common condition which is largely idiopathic in etiology. Less frequently, it has been described secondary to anatomical variations or space occupying lesions. We describe a patient who developed a recurrent trigger finger after a surgical release of the first annular pulley. Intraoperatively, the trigger was noted to be caused by herniation of the flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) tendon into a noose formed by the two slips of the flexor digitorum superficialis tendon (FDS) and the proximal edge of the second annular pulley. Level of Evidence: Level V (Therapeutic)
