The middle finger on my left hand is shorter than the index and ring finger. When I make a fist the knuckle on my middle finger is back further from the rest and barely sticks out and neither of my pinkie knuckles stick out at all. My brothers pinkie knuckles dont stick out either. I got my hand x-rayed and the doctor said my lefthand middle finger had a short metacarpal. Apart from my brothers pinkie knuckles , no-one else in my family that I know of has anything like it. I found out a few years ago when I was about 8
Many people have symptomless deformities which are by birth and these do not need any modification till you have a desire to correct them cosmetically.
Visit an orthopaedician to find out about your phalanges and interphalangeal joints which cause the knuckles and understand the anatomy for future course of action.
Take care!

Hi there! Same here, i have the longer index finger as well. The difference is, they were all normal when i was born. I have photos of my chilhood.
I remember being a 4 or 5 year old kid, who coulnt sleep in the afternoon naps and thinking about having fingers in order. I remember deciding them to be in order. (Nobody told me i coulnt do it.)
I didnt pull them or such stupid things like that. I just decided and it happened in few years. Occationaly i was looking at them and watching my index fingers reaching my middle fingers month to month. Then they got longer and i finally noticed that it was a perfect ratio and decided to stop the process.
When i was 8, moms cousin figured that out and it was a big thing all of a sudden. Then i learned that someone cant do it by only desicion. I still dont know if it happened because of me or it was just a coincidance. But i do know that my fingers are kinda freaky but still very talented.
Its nice to know about people like me. Lets make a community and make group hugs sometimes! Eheh!
