How do most injuries of the finger collateral ligaments occur?
Injury to the collateral ligaments can occur when the joint is forced to bend too far sideways until one of the collateral ligaments ruptures. These ligaments can also be injured if the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint is actually dislocated, with the middle phalanx dislocating behind the proximal phalanx.
