Brief Answer: XXXXXXX fracture?

Detailed Answer:
Hi there

Thanks for the query

This could be a XXXXXXX fracture of the base of the thumb. I suggest you apply ice, wear a Thumb Spica splint and get it xrayed.

Do upload the Xray for my review.

Avoid grasping objects or lifting weights.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.

Regards,

Dr. Aashish Raghu
