Hand specialist: You're correct in wanting prompt care for this injury to prevent serious damage to the joint if not properly treated. A hand surgeon or specialist should be consulted as soon as possible. In the meantime apply cold compresses for 20 minutes several times a day if pain and/or swelling are present.
