Question

Why is a child’s little finger joint unflexible?

Answer

An unflexible little finger joint in a child may require diagnosis by a local hand surgery department to determine if it is caused by conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or tendinitis. It is recommended to undergo regional massage and physical therapy, and further treatment should be based on the underlying cause. Additionally, for children with bone tumors, attention should be paid not only to symptomatic treatment but also to daily care, including consuming more vegetables and fruits, as well as calcium-rich foods, to avoid or reduce the risk of recurrence.
