What Is Trigger Finger?

2. Causes of Trigger Finger
There is no clear cause of trigger finger. However, the condition develops when the tendons that help pull the finger inward toward the palm do not work as they should. This happens as a result of trauma arising from repetitive exertion of the fingers and thumbs, as happens during activities like gripping, pruning, and gardening.
Trigger finger can also occur as a result of inflammation due to some medical conditions.
