Is Splint The Right Treatment For Broken Finger In A Child?

Should I take my 10 year old to a specialist to make sure her broken middle finger is healing okay. The emergency doctors said it broke under the knuckle area and they put her finger in a splint. it s been three weeks and the finger seems to be healing but she still is saying that its a little sore.
