What is the best cast for broken pinky finger?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ulnar gutter cast: It matters where the break is, but usually an ulnar gutter cast that crosses the wrist and includes the small and ring finger will stabilize a small finger fracture and allow it to heal. Sometimes if the fracture involves just the tip of the finger a small finger splint can be used.
