Yes, hand surgeons are often able to help correct crooked fingers. Most of the time the reason to fix them is because they are so crooked that they don't work or they are painful. I would suggest leaving a finger alone if it is not painful and works well.
This really depends upon what is causing your fingers to be "crooked." In most cases, this is a result of arthritis. Depending upon the arthritis and your function, it is possible that surgery can be helpful. I would recommend that you consult a hand surgeon.
If it is from arthritis, it's probably advisable to leave this alone. However, if it’s a functional impairment, there are surgical options.
