Dislocated finger joint occurs when an injury causes damage to the joint ligaments or capsule, such that the joint forming surface of a finger bone or phalanx is extruded out of the joint. Thus, a finger dislocation leads to failure of joint mobility and causes a stiff, swollen, and painful finger joint. Sometimes, a finger bone may also be broken along with the dislocation, in which case it is called a fracture-dislocation.
The most common cause of a jammed finger is direct force on the tip of the finger. For athletes, the classic injury is having a basketball or volleyball hit right on the tip of the finger. The most commons signs and symptoms of a finger sprain includes immediate finger joint pain, swelling, and limited motion.
