A member asked:
Is it true that you will not be able to move your hand if it is broken?

No: Broken bones heal after several weeks, and therapy can be initiated to regain hand flexibility. Your hand surgeon can assist you through this difficult healing process to regain hand function.

No: You may be able to move the hand or finger if broken but it is usually painful to move it and may have abnormal motion.
