SAG FINGER!!!

Boutonniere deformity: The stabilizing portion of the extensor tendon (the tendon that is over the backside of your finger) is torn between the proximal and middle phalanx (the closest and middle bones of your finger). This causes the middle of your finger to sag and not straighten all the way.

Jammed finger



  • A direct blow to the tip of a finger can cause tendon or ligament damage, as well as fracture or dislocation of the bones.


  • If the side ligaments are torn, the patient may have pain on the side of a joint, and the joint may be loose.


  • If the ligament on the bottom of the joint (called the volar plate) is torn, the patient may have pain and looseness on the underside of the finger.


  • If a tendon is torn away from its attachment, the patient may be unable to completely bend, straighten, or grip with the finger (or thumb).
