De Quervain’s Disease

• Results from overuse of the thumb tendons, often caused by repeated pinching with your thumb while moving your wrist.

Macrodactyly

• Overgrowth in size and diameter in one or more digits.

Mallet Fingers

• Flexion deformity of the fingertips as a result of a ligament/tendon injury.

Polydactyl

• Excess number of fingers; tends to be hereditary.

Stenosing Tenosynovitis (Trigger Finger)

• Thickening of the lining surrounding the tendons of your finger results in triggering of the finger

Syndactyl

• Fusion of two or more fingers in which there may be involvement of soft tissue or may include fusion of the bone.
