What can they do for you if your finger is broken?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Splint: It depends on the structures involvement (i.e. Joint). Uncomplicated ones are treated by applying a finger splint or buddy taping. Complex ones are treated by orthopedic specialists and may require surgery or other more complicated modalities.

Depends: If it is nondisplaced and small then buddy taping to the next finger and splinting....If crooked or unstable then surgery.
