carpal tunnel syndrome
Trauma or inflammation of the flexor tendon sheaths may produce a tenosynovitis that leads to cicatricial stenosis of the sheath. Associated proximal swelling and thickening of the tendons interfere with their movement in the sheath, producing a sudden snapping or popping during flexion and extension and occasionally locking the digit in a flexed or extended position
