Even if it’s the second knuckle and up, you’d still have a solid amount of grasping utility with that finger.
Looking at my hand and bending my fingers at various knuckles like an idiot, it seems to me that I can only achieve an angle of about 90 degrees at the sharpest between my metacarpals and my proximal phalanges, I don’t see myself grasping a lot with that.
You’re right. Not with the finger just by itself, but in support of the other fingers, I meant.
Should have been more clear with what I was envisioning lol sorry.
Edit: I guess that also depends on which finger it is. Like your ring finger lost at the second knuckle could probably still help support grasping, but idk about the pinky lol.
