What Wikipedia says

Trigger finger, also known as stenosing tenosynovitis, is a disorder characterized by catching or locking of the involved finger in full or near full flexion, typically when the hand is closed with force. There may be tenderness in the palm of the hand near the last skin crease (distal palmar crease).
