Brief Answer:
Infection has damaged the bone.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
From the description it seems that your finger has an infection that has reached the bone also. The infection itself caused the crooking of finger. Proper swab culture and biopsy of the skin will help in detecting the infection and toxins and will also rule out the malignancy. This will need oral antibiotics also to treat the infection completely.
Taking tetanus shot will help in decreasing the chances of having tetanus. Do consult your physician for needed investigations.
