How to determine if i dislocated my finger?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
How does it look?: If the finger has a "bayonet" appearance at the joint, it is probably dislocated. It feel funny, and a little painful to move, which would not look like it is moving normally. If it is crooked or sideways, or if it is very painful to move, it would more likely be broken or featured. Regardless, both conditions need to be evaluated by x-ray and treated appropriately.
