How do i know if i have a dislocated finger or just another sprained finger?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Xray and exam: Jammed fingers can result in simple sprains, dislocations, fracture-dislocations, and tendon ruptures. Unfortunately, even the most innocuous appearing finger could be a serious injury. The only way to know how serious is by getting an examination and x-ray.
