A member asked:
How can i determine whether my left pinky finger, which i broke and had surgery on in january and has 3 screws, is healing properly?

Only 1 way...: If there is still pain, deformity, or reduced range of motion, you should have a physical exam and evaluation may include further imaging. If no pain, deformity, or reduced range of motion one can assume that things are progressing well.
