[Trigger finger-pitfalls and differential diagnosis].

ABSTRACT: The differential diagnosis of a trigger finger presents a clinical challenge. This case depicts a 32-year-old male patient who presented with persistent snapping of the right index finger at the metacarpophalangeal joint without localized tenderness despite previous surgical A1-annular ligament release. CT diagnostics demonstrated a prominent articular tuberosity. The MRI showed no pathological findings. Surgical revision with concomitant excision of the tuberosity restored smooth mobility of the index finger.
