A member asked:

Scar tissue: After a finger dislocation, it's very common to develop a joint contracture, meaning damaged soft tissue becomes scarred and prevents normal motion of the joint. Occupational hand therapy with a dynamic splint to improve motion would most likely be your best options initially.
