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.
Soft tissue injuries lead to pain and swelling, which sometimes causes finger numbness. The nerves in the hand can also be damaged with a wrist sprain due to forceful trauma. Finger numbness can be a sign of serious injury. Consult a doctor if these symptoms are still present more than 3 days after an injury.
