Trigger digits in children are rare and the vast majority of cases are primary and involve the thumb. Although there are isolated reports of trigger digits in children after trauma, we were unable to find any report of a trigger digit in a child caused by repetitive forceful gripping. We report a 14-year-old fencer who developed a trigger of his middle finger to highlight this unusual association. This was initially managed with a splint and analgesics and eventually required two intrathecal steroid injections for resolution of symptoms.
