Hello,
Deformity is common without fracture due to soft tissue injury ( Tendon) in hand.
The tendon injury if not treated may result in fibrosis and contraction of tendon.
This result in permanent deformity in knuckles or joints in hands.
You need plastic surgery to release this contracture.

Hope this helps.
Please write back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
