The middle finger is your largest, boldest finger. Rings worn on the middle finger are surprisingly uncommon, though.

M20. 01 - Mallet finger. ICD-10-CM.
Mallet finger is an injury to the end of your finger that causes it to bend inwards towards your palm. You will not be able to straighten the end of your finger because the tendon connecting the muscle to the finger bone is stretched or torn.
A mallet fracture occurs when the extensor tendon also causes avulsion of the distal phalanx. There are three subtypes of mallet fractures based on the age of the patient and the percent of the articular surface of the distal phalanx involved. The treatment remains controversial.

With mallet finger, the tendon on the back of the finger (not the palm side) is separated from the muscles it connects. Three types of injuries commonly occur: The tendon is damaged, but no fractures (bone cracks or breaks) are present. The tendon ruptures with a small fracture caused by the force of the injury.
Mallet finger, a common problem for baseball players, is an injury to the tendon at the tip of your finger. You may find yourself unable to completely straighten your finger, and it may droop at the top. The typical treatment involves splinting and ice. Surgery is rare.
A “jersey finger” refers to a rupture of the flexor tendon, which is the tendon that bends the fingertip down. Its name comes from football athletes who have gripped the jersey of an opposing player who is trying to get away.
Hammertoe and mallet toe are foot deformities that occur due to an imbalance in the muscles, tendons or ligaments that normally hold the toe straight. The type of shoes you wear, foot structure, trauma and certain disease processes can contribute to the development of these deformities.
