You know, I think it's more common than those of us who are missing knuckles would think! Just a quick YouTube search shows other people out there who are missing knuckles (from birth). I only noticed that I'm missing mine when I was 9 or 10! And, another oddity, it usually makes your finger really short. Soo I want to know also who else is missing their knuckles so I've started a Facebook page so we can try and see who else is out there. If you're missing knuckles too, the page is "Who has my knuckles?" You should join!

Will missing knuckles affect the function of the hand?

I have been missing the knuckles on my ring fingers since birth and this has not affected me at all. A doctor suggested that I get prosthetic knuckles when I was in high school but there was no point since I have never noticed a significant issue or problem from my lack of knuckles. The only issues I have are cosmetic as I cannot wear rings on my fingers and the ring finger is significantly shorter than the middle finger.
