Topic: "Holding the phone for a long time causes the little finger to be deformed"

It sparked heated discussions among netizens.

Some netizens found that

My little finger is noticeably bent.

The reporter also observed that

The little finger of my left hand, which has been holding the phone,

Even when you're not holding the phone, there's a noticeable dent.

Ma Ming, deputy director of the rehabilitation medicine department of Zhongda Hospital affiliated to Southeast University, said that this is indeed very likely related to holding objects for a long time, and the bones will undergo certain deformation after being under pressure for a long time. If there is no obvious pain or local discomfort in the short term, no intervention is required, but everyone should be careful. If it becomes a habit over a long period of time, the local soft tissue will be under excessive pressure, which may cause pathological inflammatory changes.

If holding a mobile phone for a long time causes tenosynovitis, it needs timely treatment. Dr. Ma said that the first reaction to tenosynovitis is pain, followed by limited movement and functional impairment, such as limited grasping or lightly pinching an object.

Doctors remind that when holding a mobile phone, you should change your posture frequently to avoid prolonged pressure on a single finger to reduce the occurrence of finger depression, deformation or tenosynovitis, and you should exercise your hands appropriately.

If there is local discomfort in the fingers, you can do some simple massage to create a certain tension in the soft tissue and tendons, which will produce normal tendon sliding and reduce cumulative tissue damage.
