A member asked:
What should you do with my broken finger?

Splint: Depending on the fracture it should be splinted to adjacent finger ( buddy tape) or aluminum splint. It takes 3 weeks to heal small bones.

Repair it: Reduction of a fracture with stabilization are the essentials of treatment. Whether this required open or closed treatment and for how long is a decision that should be left to an expert who examines you on a regular basis.
