Locked Fingers

If the trigger finger is left unmanaged and the symptoms of the condition become progressively worse, it's possible for the finger to become stuck in a bent position. Individuals may have to manually straighten out the affected digit with their other hand.

Depending on the severity of a person's symptoms, manual manipulation with the other hand may not provide enough support to straighten the trigger finger. Further assistance from a medical professional should be sought.11‘Trigger Finger - Symptoms and Causes.’ Mayo Clinic, 20 Oct. 2020, www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/trigger-finger/symptoms-causes/syc-20365100
