Deformity: Is there any visible deformity? If there is none, and you can immobilize your finger, it should heal. You may use wooden splats, like popsicle sticks, and wrap a bandage to immobilize the bones. If the skin was not broken it should heal on its own. If the skin was broken or there is deformity it would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you good health!

Probably will : This depends on how severe the fracture was. If it was not a complete fracture where the finger was displaced it should heal without deviation of the finger if the finger was complete off or their was a compound Fx when the bone goes through the skin, there is greater chance for future joint changes.

Fracture: Take a finger splint which you can get at the pharmacy and apply at about 70 degrees and held in position with tape. You will have to keep it on for 4 weeks. Good Luck
