Trigger finger is usually caused by swelling of one of the tendons that run along your fingers and thumbs, although the exact reason why this occurs isn't fully understood.
Trigger finger is a snapping or locking condition of any of the digits of the hand when opened or closed. Trigger finger is medically termed stenosing tenosynovitis. Trigger finger is caused by local swelling from inflammation or scarring of the tendon sheath around the flexor tendons. These are tendons that normally pull the affected digit inward toward the palm (flexion). Usually, trigger finger occurs as an isolated condition because of repetitive trauma.
