It May Be: Even if the finger is not broken, it should be evaluated by a primary care doctor or hand surgeon, since a serious ligament tear could give the same symptoms. It needs to be x-rayed and evaluated clinically.

Injured finger: A pop is not necessary to have an injured finger. If it is swollen and painful then an x-ray is needed.
