A member asked:
My friends finger got slammed in the car door and it's been over 24 hours. she got a finger splint on her finger and she's wondering if that's good?ty
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Its good to splint -: To prevent from hurting her finger further, and to decrease the pain; but i would recommend her seeing an orthopod to get an xray, to ensure there is no broken bone or joint injury, or a tendon injury, as these would need to be treated properly, to avoid long term problems. Good luck.
