A member asked:
If i broke my middle finger, do i need to stabilize both joints in my finger or just the last one?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: The usual practice is to immobilize the joint above and the joint below the fracture. If the fracture occured at the tip, then only the last joint would need to be immobilized.
