A jammed finger is an injury to a joint and the surrounding support tissues (tendons and ligaments) caused by a force being pushed onto that finger. The finger should heal within one or two weeks. A jammed finger is also possible when a forceful impact pushes your fingers into your hand, injuring the ligaments.
