Mayo Clinic Minute: Is your thumb pain de Quervain's tenosynovitis?
When a simple hand movement, like making a fist or moving the thumb, becomes painful, it could be from daily overuse.
Mayo Clinic orthopedic surgeon Dr. Sanjeev Kakar says it's primarily a tendon problem.
It's an outpatient procedure. Here Dr. Kakar opens a sheath surrounding the tendon to release pressure and allow the tendons to glide more freely and pain-free.

7 Thumb Joint (CMC) Stretches & Exercises
The joint at the base of your thumb that goes into your wrist, the carpometacarpal (CMC) joint, is a very common place for arthritis to form. These thumb stretches and exercises may help relieve the pain. More thumb exercises: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jeEZUGqDNw
Start off with a simple big opening and closing of your hand, but bend your thumb in first to get an extra stretch.
Next, moving your thumb in all the directions can help loosen up the joint. Flexion, abduction, and adduction are the main movements.
Then finger taps help with stretching and strengthening the thumb. Making links with your fingers and using them to pull on each other also help with strengthening.
Finally, stabilizing the CMC joint to move the other thumb joints will help with overall movement.

Trigger Finger (Thumb)
Visit our website to learn more about using Nucleus content for patient engagement and content marketing: http://www.nucleushealth.com/
MEDICAL ANIMATION TRANSCRIPT:
Your forearms contain flexor muscles that allow you to bend your fingers. Long cord-like structures called tendons connect these muscles to the bones in your fingers and thumb. A tunnel of tissue called a tendon sheath surrounds each tendon. This allows the tendon to glide smoothly as the fingers move. The sheath is held in place by bands of tissue called pulleys. They hold the tendon close to the bone for optimal functioning of the tendon. When your flexor muscles contract, the pulleys help guide the tendons to flex or bend your fingers. Normally, the tendons glide smoothly through the pulleys when the fingers flex and exte...

Thumb Arthritis Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment
Arthritis at the joint at the base of the thumb, or the carpalmetacarpal (CMC) joint is very common. When osteoarthritis occurs at this joint, the cartilage begins to wear down creating painful bone on bone friction. That joint is important to move your thumb from side to side as well as up and down.
Conservative treatment options include activity modification, taking NSAIDs, steroid injections, physical therapy, and bracing. When those treatments no longer relieve the thumb pain, surgery may be necessary.
When thumb pain starts affecting your day to day life, see an orthopedic hand surgeon it is a good time to seek treatment.

Visit our website to learn more about using Nucleus content for patient engagement and content marketing: http://www.nucleushealth.com/
MEDICAL ANIMATION TRANSCRIPT:
Your forearms contain flexor muscles that allow you to bend your fingers. Long cord-like structures called tendons connect these muscles to the bones in your fingers and thumb. A tunnel of tissue called a tendon sheath surrounds each tendon. This allows the tendon to glide smoothly as the fingers move. The sheath is held in place by bands of tissue called pulleys. They hold the tendon close to the bone for optimal functioning of the tendon. When your flexor muscles contract, the pulleys help guide the tendons to flex or bend your fingers. Normally, the tendons glide smoothly through the pulleys when the fingers flex and extend. Trigger finger also known as trigger thumb or stenosing tenosynovitis is a condition where the pulley at the base of your finger becomes inflamed and swollen. This makes it harder for the tendon to move through the pulley. Over time, the tendon may also swell and form a bump near the pulley. When you bend your finger, the swollen area on the tendon may cause a catching or triggering sensation as it initially gets hung on the pulley and then slips underneath. If not treated, the tendon may swell enough that it cannot pass beneath the pulley. As a result, your finger may get stuck in a bent position. If you have trigger finger, you may have one or more of the following symptoms, a tender lump on your palm at the base of your finger, a catching, popping or locking sensation when you move your finger and pain when you bend or straighten your finger. The cause of trigger finger isn't known but some conditions that can increase your risk for it include diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, and repeated injuries. Forceful and repetitive hand gripping may also increase your risk. To treat mild trigger finger, your doctor may advise you to rest your hand and avoid activities that make it worse. Your doctor may prescribe anti-inflammatory medication or a corticosteroid injection to reduce the swelling. You may also need to wear a finger splint to keep your fingers straight. If nonsurgical treatments haven't worked, your doctor may advise you to have a surgical procedure. To start the procedure, your surgeon will make a small incision in your palm. Then the pulley will be cut to free the tendon. At the end of the procedure, your incision may be closed with stitches and covered with a soft bandage. To find out more about trigger finger, talk to your healthcare provider.

Dr. Ebraheim’s educational animated video describes the conditions of trigger finger and trigger thumb.
Trigger finger is a condition where the involved finger will catch as it bends.
The finger is straightened with a pop or a snap. The flexor tendon becomes thick and irritated as it slides through the tendon pulley causing a thickened nodule and triggering of the tendon. The discrepancy between the diameter of the tendon and the size of the pulley opening causes the triggering.
Symptoms
•Pain may be located in the palm at the base of the finger.
•Tenderness at the A1 pulley.
Causes
•Occurs more in women •More in diabetics •Rheumatoid arthritis
•Repetitive injuries •Occupational.
Locking can occur when the tendon is unable to pass through the sheath. As the tendon becomes inflammaed, it gets caught.
Treatment
•Rest •Splinting •Injection into the sheath not the tendon •Injections can be repeated •Surgical release of A1 pulley.
When releasing the A1 pulley, the release should be done at the level of the MP joint.
The A2 and A4 pulleys are important and should not be touched, excised or released.
A1 pulley is cut and the flexor tendon is released.
Technique of injection
•Injection into the flexor sheath may provide relief for triggering of the finger.
•After the site is marked, use a 25-gauge needle.
•Advance the needle through the midline down to the bone.
•Pull the needle back slightly and inject the medication freely.
How do you surgically release the A1 pulley?
•The incision is marked on the MP flexion crease.
•The incision is marked out in the palmar crease for surgical division of the A1 pulley.
•The A1 pulley is exposed and released.
•The tendon is released.
•Patient is asked to move the fingers to confirm the success of the operation.
•Incision for trigger thumb release placed in MP flexion crease.
•When releasing the flexor pollicis longus tendon, watch out for the digital radial nerve in the field of surgery.

•Pain may be located in the palm at the base of the finger.
•Tenderness at the A1 pulley.
Causes
•Occurs more in women •More in diabetics •Rheumatoid arthritis
•Repetitive injuries •Occupational.
Locking can occur when the tendon is unable to pass through the sheath. As the tendon becomes inflammaed, it gets caught.
Treatment
•Rest •Splinting •Injection into the sheath not the tendon •Injections can be repeated •Surgical release of A1 pulley.
When releasing the A1 pulley, the release should be done at the level of the MP joint.
The A2 and A4 pulleys are important and should not be touched, excised or released.
A1 pulley is cut and the flexor tendon is released.
Technique of injection
•Injection into the flexor sheath may provide relief for triggering of the finger.
•After the site is marked, use a 25-gauge needle.
•Advance the needle through the midline down to the bone.
•Pull the needle back slightly and inject the medication freely.
How do you surgically release the A1 pulley?
•The incision is marked on the MP flexion crease.
•The incision is marked out in the palmar crease for surgical division of the A1 pulley.
•The A1 pulley is exposed and released.
•The tendon is released.
•Patient is asked to move the fingers to confirm the success of the operation.
•Incision for trigger thumb release placed in MP flexion crease.
•When releasing the flexor pollicis longus tendon, watch out for the digital radial nerve in the field of surgery.
