Subject: names of fingers

I have always heard the index finger referred to as the trigger finger.  Based on the assumption, the trigger/index finger is different than the ring finger.  I have never heard any other finger referred to with that label, but that doesn't mean I am right. 


names of fingers
Subject: names of fingers

The doctor is referring to the condition "trigger finger", not the index finger. He is saying she has right ring trigger finger. Meaning that finger most likely catches or locks down with movement. I had it also and they surgically released it.

However, you will see a variation on the typing of BIRADS depending on who you are typing it for.  The copyright lists it as BI-RADS, federal guidlines are supposed to dictate how it is typed but have worked for numerous centers that type it anywhere from BIRADS to BI-RADS to BiRADS.  Categories however should always be arabic (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 0)
