Patient: Description (onset time, main symptoms, hospital, etc.): Hello doctor, I was injured in early November 2009 playing basketball with the second joint of my left pinky finger, when the pinky finger was in direct contact with a basketball traveling at high speed. Can this condition be cured? Can this be cured? I’ve taken the film and practiced stretching on my own, but there is no effect. How can it be cured? What is the cost? (Doctor: Your condition is more common in young people. It is most often seen in students who play basketball and poke their fingers, causing injury to the joint capsule of the interphalangeal joint mainly on the flexor side, which results in swelling, pain and bruising of the finger on the same day due to internal bleeding at the injury site. In some cases, the poke may be repeated. After a long period of time, the joint capsule of the injured joint develops a secondary contracture. This is manifested by limited active and passive extension of the joint. Beijing Jishuitan Hospital Hand Surgery Department Wang Haihua X-ray manifestations are generally not particularly abnormal. The key now is to look at the degree of extension restriction of your little finger and psychological expectations. If the extension restriction is within 45 degrees, it is recommended to use an elastic traction support; if it is greater than 45 degrees, surgery is recommended. Both braces and surgery are treatments that do not allow the deformity to heal, but in general, the results are more satisfactory. Their costs are a few hundred and a few thousand dollars, respectively.
