A member asked:

My finger has been swollen and bruised at the knuckle for 3 days. i'm wearing a metal splint but i can't straighten my finger. what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Fracture : Splitting is the method of choice in the treatment of finger injuries including fractures. However the sprint should hold the finger in the functional position and not straight.If after 4 weeks there is no improvement when you remove the splint see your doctor
