I busted my left hand ring finger a few years ago, and because of this it became slightly larger than my right hand. I’m going to learn the violin soon, if I wanted to became a master at it, would it be smarter to play with my right hand on the frets, since my knuckles are less swollen?

The width of knuckles don’t determine how playing the violin will be at all…most people who do decide to play the violin, only have to worry about how long their neck is due to the violin being a small stringed instrument because if their neck is too long, they will strain themselves when baring down on the chin rest…If you have a long neck, play the viola and save yourself the damage.
It won;t matter. Its the Heart that counts. I busted my left arm in 12 places and had to get wire meshes put it. Guess What ? I wanted to master the guitar and graduated Berklee . It didn’t affect my speed and skills although I did lose 2 years due to the cast LOL..
Go for it and don;t use that as a excuse. Contrary, it should motivate yo show you who is boss. Your hand or your mind
no it doesnt.
