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.
Symptoms associated with trigger finger include a tender bump under the palm crease at the base of the finger, swelling and stiffness and pain in the middle joint of the finger. Instead of a smooth gliding finger, the digit will hesitate, click or snap during bending or straightening. What causes trigger finger? The exact cause of trigger finger is unknown, but it is generally seen more in women and those working in jobs requiring repetitive gripping. Sometimes, underlying illnesses that cause inflammation such as arthritis, gout, diabetes and auto-immune disease, can cause trigger finger.
