What to Do When You Dislocate a Finger

You have probably watched a scene in a TV show or movie where they fix a dislocated body part by popping it back in to place. Although these scenes make dislocations seem like they are simple to fix, a dislocate joint can be a major issue if the injury is severe.

Just like other parts of the body, the fingers and thumbs can become dislocated. Dislocations can occur as a result of a sports injury, automobile accident, or other accidents that cause major harm to the hands.

When a dislocation occurs, it is important that you immediately seek professional medical help. Some injuries may require surgery to correct and may become worse over time if not properly addressed.
