Why are my index fingers curved inwards?
I am not sure what is going on exactly without some more details, but I can offer some general pointers. First of all, if there is any pain or swelling in the finger, or if you have any trouble moving it, this might be a sign of arthritis, especially if you also have symptoms in other joints of the hand or in other joints of the body. If you think you might have arthritis, you should see your primary care doctor for a full evaluation. Another possibility would be that there is some deformity to your finger owing to an old injury. If you have ever broken or severely sprained the finger this might explain what is going on. Once again, you would want to see your primary care doctor or even an orthopedic doctor for an evaluation of this. If by curving in you mean that you can not fully extend the finger and it ends up being kind of hook-shaped, then this could be trigger finger, which is caused by scar tissue or inflammation in the tends of the finger, preventing it from extending fully. Trigger finger can also be treated by your primary care doctor or by an orthopedic doctor. Please discuss with your doctor soon.
Why are my index fingers twisting inwards? Could it be related to Marfan syndrome?
You can have all the suspicions you want, research it beyond just Googling-it, and by that I mean read medical case studies and journals (not just a couple of blogs), join a Marfan Support Group on or offline, and ultimately see your primary care physician for a complete examination and diagnosis….but don’t self-diagnose without professional examination. Take charge of your health and your medical concerns, and get the peace of mind you need; you’ll either have it or you won’t.Without any picture reference, however, some medical background, and/or genetic history, it’s a shot in the dark right now to even guess. I’ve included some pics, information, and the Marfan Foundation website for your review. Good luck and best to you.The Marfan FoundationHomeMarfan Syndrome — NEJMMarfan Syndrome — NEJM
My index finger is slightly bent (not sideways) from top most joint but fully functional. Will it lead to rejection for SSB medicals?
Hi,I just completed my medicals almost a month back. I play basketball and it is not unusual to see a slight bend in your index finger. Infact, most basketball players have a slight bend on the index finger of their playing hand. Also I play the guitar, so it could because of that too.As you can see in the photo from the middle of my right index finger there is a slight bend towards the right…i am assuming that you have the same bend too. Don't worry it is completely normal.I'm sure the doctor won't even notice it.They are concerned about stuff like knocked knees and other stuff during medicals.All the best!EDIT: I really don't know if I've answered your question. And if I've got you query right..If it is a very serious bend like thisThen it is CLINODACTYLY

Why do my fingers curve inward toward the tips?
See, I didn't notice it until recently - But my fingers seem to curve inward at the tips. It's actually pretty noticeable just by looking, too. It's not anything extreme, but at the third/last joints, or the tip-joints, the bone seems to curve inward and toward my middle finger, my middle finger being the most obvious in this. Thumb is fine, Index and ring fingers curve inward toward my middle finger, and my middle finger curves toward my ring finger. Pinky finger also curves inward toward the middle. This is the same for both hands.. Order and all. If it helps, I'm double jointed, and I do pop my fingers especially when nervous - If that has anything to do with it. Any ideas?
Why is my index finger curved?
While it is possible to be curved from recurring usage patterns, the more common reason would be ‘Clinodactyly’, a very common genetic autosomal dominance traitanomaly that can either be an isolated issue or present in combination with other genetic issues like Downs Sundrome. Probably the most common is the fifth, or pinky, finger, with the index finger being next. If not so severe as to be debilitating treatment isn't usually recommended.
How can I fix/straighten a slightly (naturally) "bent" finger?
Hello people! Well, the index finger on my left hand has been a little bit "bent" (curved to the left, inwards) ever since my childhood. I play guitar and when playing standing, it makes playing harder. Is there any way I can straighten and fix my index finger? Can a visit to the doctor's office help? What should I do? Thanks!
Why are my fingers twisting and bending?
I am 14 years old. Over the past month or two, I have noticed that my fingers are twisting/ bending. Both of my thumbs are bending outward from the knuckle. My index fingers (especially on the right hand) are twisting inward. My middle fingers are bending outward from the top joint. My Ring fingers are bending inward slightly, and my pinkies are curving inward. It is causing me no pain whatsoever, and no limitations in mobility. I have noticed, however, that it began just around the time I started rowing crew for the first time. Could that have anything to do with it? I just would like to find out what this is now, in case it keeps progressing and eventually does limit my mobility.
Why do fingers naturally bend and curl instead of staying flat?
