Well, first of all it depends on which finger was broken. Certain fingers can remain crooked and will do no difference at all, such as the baby finger (pinky), because it is not really important to grasp things. A crooked thumb, index finger or middle finger could jeopardize certain activities, such as writing or holding things.

If your knuckle is dislocated, you may not be able to bend it at all as the bone will have moved in a way that does not allow you to use your finger.
