Trigger wrist is a relatively rare phenomenon. The pathological entities to which the term trigger wrist is applied are not well defined in the literature. We present three cases of trigger wrist as a result of flexor tendon pathology, review the literature and discuss the use of the term "trigger wrist".

Key Words: wrist • triggering • snapping • clicking • tenosynovitis
