How to correct crooked fingers

Normal people's fingers can be straightened, but there are many reasons why some people cannot straighten their fingers, such as problems with bone development or trauma. The former is congenital, so it is very troublesome to treat. Only surgery can alleviate the symptoms. The latter can be corrected by methods. So how to correct crooked fingers?

First, how to correct crooked fingers? The first type is congenital, due to skeletal and muscular maldevelopment in childhood. This type is a bit difficult and requires going to the hospital for surgical correction. The second type is caused by injury. Often playing ball will cause the little finger to be swollen for weeks. It can’t be bent or straightened. It is really uncomfortable. It is recommended to take some anti-inflammatory and swelling-reducing medicine, or apply Yunnan Baiyao externally. If the injury is too serious, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination to prevent finger fractures.

The second and third types are tenosynovitis, a common disease caused by excessive use of keyboard and mouse. In this case, you need to rest and relax more often. When using the mouse and keyboard, maintaining the correct posture and usage can greatly reduce the risk. Finger massage will provide better results. The fourth type is caused by neurasthenia, which is probably caused by lack of sleep, irregular diet, lack of exercise, etc. Sometimes you feel weak all over and your fingers become like chicken claws. Of course, you can’t straighten them. The main solution is to increase exercise.

Third, finger deformity correction is to correct the adhesion of certain fingers through surgery. Below are some cases of finger deformities. 1. Polydactyly Polydactyly is one of the most common congenital malformations. Some supernumerary digits are hereditary. For example, supernumerary digits of the middle and little fingers are autosomal dominant genetic abnormalities. The fourth finger, the ring finger, middle finger and little finger deformities each have unique manifestations. Complex deformities such as mirror hand (ulnar-sided hands) and pentadactyly also belong to supernumerary finger deformities. Duplication deformities can be divided into three types: radial (thumb side), middle and ulnar (little finger side). 2. Syndactyly Syndactyly is also common, and can be divided into complete syndactyly and partial syndactyly. When only the soft tissue is closed, it is called simple syndactyly. Syndactyly is called complex syndactyly when it is connected by bones. Syndactyly is more common between 3 and 4 fingers, and can also be seen in Apert syndrome (craniosynostosis, varying degrees of complex syndactyly of the hands or feet), fasciculopathy and Poland syndrome (absence of the pectoralis major muscle and syndactyly).

How to correct crooked fingers? If the little finger's intrinsic extensor tendon is damaged, the dorsal extensor tendon may be damaged and the palmar flexor tendon may be pulled when the little finger is straightened, causing an imbalance between the two and the phenomenon shown in the figure. It is recommended to protect the fingers to avoid further injury, X-ray examination to rule out the possibility of local fracture, and go to a local regular hospital for orthopedic surgery. Generally, recovery can be achieved through orthopedics, and functional exercise after orthopedics is also very important.
