Abstract
Trigger finger is a condition that can result from a stenosed digital flexor tendon sheath. The condition was first described by French physician Alphonse Notta in 1850 in a report that consisted of 4 case studies of adult patients. Notta's and other reports written in the 19th century document the early views on this condition's etiology and management. The 20th century saw the development of modern-day treatment methods for the condition, namely corticosteroid injections and the surgical release of the A1 pulley.
