yep...in high school, my football playing brother was going for a tackle and caught his pinkie in the back of the runner's shoe.  The runner's next step did mega damage including multiple fractures and a major dislocation of the hand joint as well as tendon damage.  Picture Anthony Munoz's hand when he first injured it

Now this was in the golden oldie days of surgery but he was in the hospital for 3 days with his hand in traction after surgery.  It was a year before he had full use of his hand.  

Granted, we've come a long way since then and Boyd's hand isn't nearly as seriously injured but dislocations, even of fingers, can be far more extensive than the diagnosis indicates
