Second degree sprains involve a partial tear of the ligament, while third degree sprains are complete tears of the ligament. [1] Third degree sprains commonly result in a dislocation of the finger. [1] Sprains are characterized by swelling of the joint, reduced range of motion, and pain. Dislocations can be categorized based on location and type.
