Exam and X ray: A complete patient and trauma history, a thorough physical examination, and dedicated x ray films of the affected digit can confirm the diagnosis of a finger fracture. Typically, these injuries present with acute pain and swelling, and local brusing (ecchymosis). One should seek medical evaluation if a fracture is suspected.
