A Delayed Diagnosis of Bilateral Pediatric Trigger Thumbs: A Case Report and Literature Review
We describe the case of a 6-year-old female who presented with tender nodules and fixed flexion of her thumbs, diagnosed as bilateral pediatric trigger thumb. Though present since infancy, her condition was not diagnosed in prior clinical visits. Pediatric trigger digit is a clinical diagnosis, often missed if the digit's range of motion is not assessed routinely. Given the duration, pain, and severity of her condition, conservative management was deferred, and she was referred for surgery. An approach to clinical management is discussed.
