Trigger finger, also known as a spring finger, is an inflammation of the protective sheath around a tendon in the finger. As a result, the tendon can no longer move smoothly. This can cause pain, stiffness and a catching or 'clicking' sensation when bending or straightening the finger. In more severe cases, the finger may temporarily lock in place.
