Trigger Finger
Trigger finger, also known as stenosing tenosynovitis, is a condition that affects the tendons in your fingers or thumb. It occurs when the tendons become inflamed or irritated, leading to difficulties in moving the affected finger smoothly. The condition is called "trigger finger" because the finger may suddenly snap or lock into a bent position and then release, similar to the action of pulling and releasing a trigger.

What is trigger finger and how is it caused?
Trigger finger, also known as stenosing tenosynovitis, is a condition characterized by the compression of tendons at the base of the fingers. It can affect any digit, including the thumb, index finger, and middle finger. The name "trigger finger" comes from one of the typical symptoms experienced by patients, where the finger locks in a bent position, usually in the morning. To unlock the finger, one must apply some force, which results in a clicking or snapping sensation.
