CROOKED FINGERS
Osteoarthritis can cause crooked fingers in the small joints of your fingers. Arthritis has the
ability to gradually wear away the cartilage associated with finger joints. As the condition
continues to erode the cartilage surrounding your fingers, your fingers can appear crooked
or pushed sideways.
How Do I Wear the Oval-8?
An Oval-8 worn on the side of joint can help straighten your finger and may prevent further
deformity.
The oval portion is worn on the side that your finger
is bending towards. The band acts as the counterforce.
