Consideraciones generales:

Casi toda persona ha sufrido alguna vez en su vida de lesiones en los dedos. Después de una lesión, el dedo puede permanecer un poco torcido o rígido; sin embargo, la mano aún puede funcionar bastante bien con deformidades menores. Los dedos de la mano no necesitan cerrar o abrir totalmente para ser funcionales.

El entumecimiento u hormigueo en los dedos de la mano puede ser un signo de un problema con los nervios o el flujo sanguíneo.
