S63: Dislocation, sprain and strain of joints and ligaments at wrist and hand level
S63.1: Dislocation of finger
Dislocation of a finger is a medical condition that occurs when the bones of the finger are moved (dislocated) from their normal position. This can occur from an injury such as a fall, a sports injury, or a severe twist to the finger or thumb. The dislocation can occur in any one of the joints of the finger. Symptoms of a finger dislocation may include pain, swelling, deformity of the finger, difficulty in bending the finger, and loss of feeling in the fingertip. In some cases, the finger may appear to be longer than usual or may be bent at an unnatural angle. The condition generally involves displacement and potential damage to surrounding ligaments, tendons, and muscles, which can result in an unstable or weak finger if not properly treated.
