A member asked:
My finger is slightly crooked after an injury that is now healed. have i by any chance fractured it without knowing? and how can it be corrected?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: If possible, check with your GP to get an Xray, which will show sign of recent fracture with healing. They can then recommend a splint for your finger to minimize curvature. Feel better:)
