When should I see my healthcare provider about boutonnière deformity?

If you have any injury to a joint, especially if you have an injury that amounts to a blow coming down on a flexed finger, see your healthcare provider as soon as possible. This is true also if you are cut or burned. If you can’t move a joint, especially one that is injured or has been damaged by arthritis, see your provider — the sooner the better.
