Hi.i broke my hand and pinky finger just over two weeks ago it was an open fracture i had it bandaged/taped up, its off now but my pinky is stiff?

Finger stiffness: The hand/fingers stiffen very quickly after fracture. Particularly after immobilization. Early rom is a good remedy but you have to make sure the fracture is stable first.

There are many many: Different configurations and patterns of fracture for even a little or small finger. This affect s how soon one needs to move, whether followup is needed, therapy and many other decisions. If you had and open fracture that usually means it was a more energetic injury and you need follow up care. It sounds as tho you were seen in an er or irgernt care and didn't get any folow up?
