Hand specialty eval: The fingers are assembled like a tall crane, with tendons that mimic the cables on the crane. Each finger joint has separate tendons that extend or flex the bone that travel the length of the finger. These do not show up on x-ray.To have the deformity you cite, one of the tendons slipped off its anchor point. Correction will require work with a hand specialist who can reposition the tendon.
