What Causes Stiffness In Muscle And Disability To Flex Thumb?
My daughter cannot stretch her thumb fully (at IP joint, I believe). She used to be able to. There is no pain in the thumb. What is wrong? She is three years old so she can t tell me for sure if she had an accident. She mentioned falling but can t tell me fully what happened.

She must have hurt her interphallangeal joint .
An Xray need to be done to make sure it is no fracture and/ or dislocation.
Further Delay may procedural intervention.
Hope this suggestion helps.
