Does anyone know how to treat bruised knuckles?
You can use ice or try rubbing gently with arnica gel to increase circulation in the bruised area. If it is too severe, you may wish to consult a doctor. A dislocated finger can be corrected with or without injecting local anesthesia. To correct the dislocation, the doctor will press against the displaced bone to dislodge the bone if it is caught against the side of the joint. As the end of the bone is freed, the doctor can pull outward to restore the bone to its correct position. This is called closed reduction. Once your finger joint is back in its normal position, you will wear a splint or tape the finger to another finger for three to six weeks, depending on the specific type of your dislocation.
