What could cause a mallet finger injury / bump on finger?

Jamming the tip: Mallet fingers may be associated with a fracture of the distal phalanx and are almost always caused by hitting the tip of the finger.

A blow to the finger: A blow to the tip of the extended finger causes a mallet finger, either by tearing the tendon or causing a piece of bone to pull off with the tendon. These should be treated with splinting for 6-8 weeks.
