[1] Symptoms include pain and a depressed knuckle. [2] Classically, it occurs after a person hits an object with a closed fist. [3]

Fractures of the fingers occur when the finger or hands hit a solid object. Fractures are most common at the base of the little finger (boxer's fracture). Nerve injuries 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.
