A member asked:
Can you have a hairline fracture in your hand and still have movement?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: A hairline fracture is usually very stable, so hand movement will be possible. Most hand fractures are treated with casting or splinting for several weeks, followed by a brief course of hand therapy.
