Answer 1

A 'jammed finger' is simply a finger which is troubled by a sprain, strain, or dislocation of one of its joints. The jamming may result from an impact with an opponent or teammate, sudden contact with a ball, a fall, or any sudden stretching of a finger. Falls onto hard, unyielding surfaces (for example, a basketball floor) are particularly likely to produce jams. As mentioned, the ligaments between finger bones may tear, especially if the joint is dislocated (ie, if bones move out of their normal relative positions). In a typical jam, a finger joint is forced together, with twisting of the joint involved as well. This compression and torquing often leads to dislocation, which can resolve itself within seconds or might persist until medical attention is received.
Interestingly enough, the joint between the middle bone of a finger and the bone closest to the hand is the one which is most frequently harmed during sporting activity. Also interestingly, the middle finger of the hand is the most likely candidate for jamming. Theories abound about why this is so, but perhaps the best explanation is the simplest one: the middle finger is usually the longest one and thus tends to be most exposed to contact injuries.

Answer 2

I Jammed my finger opening the car door once... don't ask how but it hurt like hell! I'm thinking the handle stuck a little and when I tried to grab it my hand slipped and then my finger jammed into the side of the care.... sounds weird but you asked!
