A member asked:
Can my hand injury be bad enough to have to get surgery or can it heal some other way without surgery ?

See Doctor: Since our hands are such necessary functional units of our body, you never want to lose even 5% function. A hand injury necessitates careful medical evaluation and close follow up. See your doctor.
