Reconstruction- Pediatric trigger finger developing after a burn

Description: This 11 year old boy developed clicking and locking of his index finger after a chemical (hydrofluoric acid) burn of the finger at the proximal phalanx level. This is an unusual situation in several respects. Locking flexor tendinitis is most common in adults, spontaneous, and involves the tendon in the distal palm. Triggering due to trauma is unusual in children and most pediatric trigger digits involve the thumb.
