Displaced knuckle for over a year ?

2017-12-11 01:11:23
I punched a wall with my right hand about a year ago now & ever since my middle knuckle had been much larger than the other hand & when I go to straighten my hand my pinky finger seems to now move to the right and doesn’t want to touch the others without me forcing it there, I’ve been to the doctors and they didn’t do anything, I’m wondering if my knuckles displaced but set there?

Hi , you might had fracture of the bone which might have in the slightly displaced position. Have an x Ray now and post it. If it is not causing any functional problem better to leave it alone, if it is causing problem you might need surgery. Hope this info helps.
