How can i tell if my fingers broken without going to the hospital?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually can't: Unless it's has obvious deformity or is angled to the side, you really can't tell. X-rays, combined with physical examination & a medical history - are used to accurately diagnose the injury. Take car.
