Abstract
Diabetes Mellitus is a common condition affecting individuals of either gender. The onset has been observed at early age making it more difcult to
differentiate between type I & type II. This health problem has added to the global burden and would further contribute to the health expenses as it is
expected to increase with the global prevalence to 738 million by 2045. It is generally associated with complications due to long standing disease or
due to poor glycemic control.
Trigger Finger is one of the common musculoskeletal diabetic complication seen in long standing diabetics with poor glycemic control affecting
individuals of any age and either gender but, more commonly the elderly. Trigger Finger is found to be associated with co-morbid conditions like
diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, gout etc. causing signicant functional impairment.
The present study reviews the prevalence, pathophysiology, epidemiology along with the management of the musculoskeletal conditions
