A member asked:
What specialist should i visit for each case: 1. fractured distal phalanx & distal inter-phalangeal joint 5th digit? 2. "hypoplasia" lack of proximal interphalangeal joint & middle phalanx 5th digit?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
An orthopedic surgeon specializing in hand surgery should be able to address your issues with the understanding that surgery may not be needed, it will have to do with details and function before fracture and predicted function once fracture healed.
