S63: Dislocation, sprain and strain of joints and ligaments at wrist and hand level
S63.2: Multiple dislocations of fingers
The hand is made up of a lot of small bones and joints. Immediately after the forearm is the carpus. Then comes the metacarpus and then the individual fingers.
The bones in the joints are also attached to connective tissue by ligaments. When bones in a joint are no longer properly aligned, we say it is dislocated. Tendons may then get pushed out of their natural position.
In your case, bones in the fingers are not properly aligned.
When someone has dislocated joints, they may be in pain or unable to move their hand properly.
