I'm missing a knuckle on my left hand, it's my ring finger. One day I put my hand into a fist and I noticed there was no knuckle. My hands functions normally but there's just a gap where my knuckle is supposed to be. Also when I put my hands together the ring finger is shorter than the ring finger on my right hand. I've never hurt my hand before!
