Symptoms of a grade two thumb sprain? how does a doctor diagnose it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Exam: It is primarily a clinical diagnosis, that is to say it is based primarily upon an examination. X-rays are often obtained to rule out a bone injury. An X-ray taken with a stress view can be used in some cases to rule out a grade III injury.
