What can you do to tell the difference between a sprained or broken finger?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Finger Fracture: An x-ray and examination by an orthopedic physician is the best and most accurate way to determine this. He/she will be able to determine the appropriate course of treatment and return to activity guidelines. Hope this helps and best of luck!
