ABSTRACT

"Trigger finger", also known as stenosing tenosynovitis of the flexor mechanism, has a prevalence of 3% in the adult population. It occurs more frequently in women, mainly in the middle and ring fingers of the dominant hand and is currently one of the most common hand pathologies. We carried out a cross-sectional, retrospective and observational study of the database of the ISSSTE High Specialty Regional Hospital in the State of Mexico, from January 2020 to December 2023, including 95 patients with a diagnosis of flexor stenosing tenosynovitis of the fingers: 76 women (80%) and 19 men (20%). The condition occurred more frequently in 41 working women (43%). The right hand was the most affected in 55 cases (57%), with the first finger being the most involved in 51 (52.6%). Currently, there are not enough epidemiological studies on this pathology and the effects on workers in Mexico. The consequences of flexor tenosynovitis in the economically active population require special care and monitoring to avoid complications and long-term damage.
