A member asked:
I have finger deformity in right hand of absence of middle phalanx & joint and a severe finger fracture in the distal phalanx and joint, what treatment options do i have please ? who should i ask a plastic surgeon or orthopedic for surgery ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A surgeon would need to see the hand to evaluate what sort of surgeries are possible. Your best bet would be to see an actual hand surgeon, if possible. Good luck.
