What is a Sprained Finger?
A sprained finger is a relatively common condition characterized by damage or tearing of the connective tissue such as the ligaments, cartilage or joint capsule of one or more finger joints. Finger sprain symptoms include pain in the finger at the time of injury. Once swelling is developed over the joint, there will be restricted movement of the finger or fingers.Each of the 4 fingers, excluding the thumb, comprises of 3 small bones known as phalanges. They join each other at the Interphalangeal Joints (IP Joints) and to the bones of the palm, called as metacarpals at the metacarpophalangeal joints
