Fractures of the fingers occur when the finger or<unk> s hit a solid object. Fractures are most common at the base of the little finger (boxer's fracture). Nerve<unk> es occur as a result of trauma, compression or over-stretching. Nerves send impulses to the brain about sensation and also play an important role in finger movement. When nerves are<unk> d, one can lose ability to move fingers, lose sensation and develop a contracture. Any nerve<unk>  of the<unk>  can be disabling and results in loss of<unk>  function. Thus it is vital to seek medical help as soon as possible after any<unk> . Sprains result from forcing a joint to perform against its normal range of motion. Finger sprains occur when the ligaments which are attached to the bone are overstretched and this results in pain, swelling, and difficulty for moving the finger. Common examples of a sprain are jammed or twisted fingers. These<unk> es are common among ball players but can also occur in laborers and<unk> y men. When finger sprains are not treated on time, prolonged disability can result.
