I've had a scarred finger joint (pip joint) of the ring and small finger of the right hand due to trauma causing contracture..

Scar of PIP finger: Best to see a qualified hand surgeon to determine if surgical release of this scar contracture is necessary. Options surgically are - excision scar contracture with closure via multiple Z-plasties or full thickness skin graft or rigotomies with fat grafting (PRP + Human Amniotic membrane cells), or a combination of these..

Scar contracture: In the skin can sometimes be addressed with scar release or skin flaps/graft. Scar in the joint can be addressed with capsular release. Scar on the tendons can also limit motion and at times surgeons do a tenolysis. Hand therapy also can be used and sometimes with progressive splinting with or without surgery
