What happens if you broke your hand and it's already been couple months without treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Limited choices: A hand fracture several months old that has been untreated has limited options that depend on the problem that has resulted. If there is a deformity or functional loss to the hand/finger than your only choice may be to see a hand surgeon and have surgery to "rebreak" and straighten the healed fracture.
