Hello,
The bent fingers with difficulty in straightening the knuckles suggest problem with median or ulnar nerve most likely. The nerve conduction study is most important study in this regard to get clues for the management guidelines.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
