Science gets a grip on wrinkly fingers Article tools. Mike Urwin/Newcastle Univ. Wrinkly fingers make your grip less slippery. Scientists think that they have the answer to why the skin on human fingers and toes shrivels up like an old prune when we soak in the bath.Laboratory tests confirmed a theory that wrinkly fingers improve our grip on wet or submerged objects, working to channel away the water like the rain treads in car tyres.e have shown that wrinkled fingers give a better grip in wet conditions — it could be working like treads on your car tyres, which allow more of the tyre to be in contact with the road and gives you a better grip, says Tom Smulders, an evolutionary biologist at Newcastle University, UK, and a co-author of the paper.

- Medical conditions that affect the nerves, muscles, or bones can also cause finger pain. For example, osteoarthritis causes the breakdown of cartilage, which is a tissue that cushions bones at joints. This breakdown causes bones to rub together and triggers pain and stiffness. In the hands, osteoarthritis can affect the joints at the base of the thumb, in the middle of the finger, and near the nail bed. Other conditions that can cause finger pain include: 1  rheumatoid arthritis. 2  osteoporosis. 3  muscular dystrophy. 4  multiple sclerosis. 5  carpal tunnel syndrome. 6  boils. 7  nodules.

Tendon Laceration The extensor tendons run along the back side (not the palm side) of your fingers and are also very close to the skin. If you tear (rupture) or cut (sever) the tendon anywhere along its route—at the wrist, in the palm of the hand, or along the finger, you may be unable to bend your finger. If you injure the FDS tendon, you may still be able to bend the finger, but not completely, and bending the finger will be painful.

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) Joint pain is a feature of joint inflammation (arthritis) that may occur in the joints of the finger bones. This can sometimes be accompanied by redness, swelling, or warmth of the joints. Both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) commonly affect joints of the fingers. Trauma or injury to the finger, such as bruises, dislocations, and fractures of bone are all common causes of finger pain. Tumors of the structures in the finger are a very rare cause of finger pain.
