Condiciones Del Mano, la Muneca

Wed, 05 Aug 2009 15:44:45 GMT

Tenosinovitis estenosante, comúnmente conocido como dedo en gatillo o pulgar en gatillo, afecta a las poleas y tendones en la mano que flexionan los dedos. Los tendones funcionan como si fueran una larga cuerda que conecta los músculos del antebrazo con los huesos de los dedos y el pulgar. En los dedos, las poleas forman un túnel bajo el cual los tendones se deslizan.
