Palomino discusses boxer's knuckle diagnosis with Dr. Badia

“boxer’s knuckle” is known as a metacarpophalangeal joint injury. Occurs when there’s damage to the ligaments and tendons around the knuckles, typically due to repetitive impact or trauma, often seen in boxers or individuals who engage in heavy punching activities. This can result in pain, swelling, reduced joint movement, and sometimes deformity of the affected knuckle joint.
