Q: dislocated finger

It probably sounds od, but both my little fingers get what I think is dislocated.

It happens if I try and straighten my finger, and its really alloying, it just messes little things, for instantce I dont think I can ever learn the guitar since every time i try and play simple, it just dislocates and cant learn right, not to mension thre also bend which is ok because its not as serious as this,

It would be the news of my life if I could get this fixed,

Talk to an orthopedic doctor. If your fingers are dislocating the doctor may be able to surgically tighten the ligament and keep the finger from slipping out of place.

Dislocation, subluxation, or you might be double jointed. People who are double jointed might simply have an extended range of motion in a joint or they might have an underlying condition that is affecting the strength of the connective tissue around the joint.

An orthopedic doctor can determine if your joint movement is normal and if there is anything that can be done about it.
