Bending Of Fingers At The First Joint From The Tip Of The Finger, Cannot Be Straightened. Problem?

what might cause a person's fingers to permanently start bending downward at the first joint from the tip of the finger. One started around age 20, and at age 65 six fingers have been affected. At the beginning of the bending they can be flexed back up, but not of its own doing; eventually it can not be straightened out even by force.
