ok, so my pinkie was fractured a few years ago while i played baseball. i had to use a splint and blah, but that didn't straightened the fractured bone. it turned out crooked after it was fully healed... if you call having a crooked finger being healed. i don't.
i originally went to the doctor for an eye checkup today, but i took this opportunity to talk to my pediatrician about my pinkie. she said there was probably a tendon problem when she took a look at it. i asked if there was anyway to make it straight again and she tells me that there is, but through surgery.
sooo anyway, this is how my right (dominant) pinkie looks:
and my left pinkie for reference:
i want to straighten my pinkie so it could look good for spinning. ahhaha. doesn't really make it seem worth it now, but still, i would like your opinion.
also, my right pinkie is shorter than my left.
thank you.

my pinky has same problem, just change camera angle a bit. still, it is very annoying. stretch more, it helps a little too. but nothing can get rid of it altogether =="

doesnt seem like surgery is worth imo... maybe if it really affects your dexterity yes, but visually its not much../

Truthfully, i dont see a big difference in the pictures, nevermind in your spinning, i dont think ANYONE would notice.
If its only for a visual sake, and only for spinning definately not worth it.
A. money: cost a HELLA lot.
B. The process of fixing that involves them RE-BREAKING the bone manually. O_o -

are you stretching your pinkies when u took the pics?
to be honest, i did notice this in your videos but thought u werent stretching the fingers
how much is the surgery anyway
if you really want to do it, then do it so you dont regret it
otherwise, not really worth it -

If pen spinning is the only reason for you to get this surgery, don't do it. It's not worth the time and money.
