A member asked:
How much time do i have before i have to get a broken finger checked out, and how should i manage it until then?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends.: Steve, if your finger is straight and you have good function then it is not an emergency to be seen. But if there is any displacement or angulation of the fracture, or if the fracture is into the joint then you should be seen by an orthopedic surgeon or hand surgeon ASAP to have it set or fixed before it starts to heal in a bad position.
