Hand fracture: Each fracture has its own personality. Check x-ray and exam with orthopedic surgeon for possible surgery.

Yes it is treatable!: If you know for sure that it is broken it can be treated with a cast, which will make you much more comfortable. Some hand fractures require surgery for the best outcome in the long term. I would definitely recommend seeing an orthopaedic surgeon.
