Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi! I a couple hours ago punched someone with my fist (I wasn t fighting) but I hit harder than I meant to, and at first my whole knuckle area reddened on my right hand. a couple hours have passed and over time, I noticed the actual vein that runs between my ring and pinkie finger was purple and aching very badly. Is there any possibility I popped the vein? There isn t any general bruising, and my knuckles aren t red anymore, the vein is just dark purple there. and hurts when I flex my fingers
Dear Sir/Madam I have gone through your query and read your symptoms. In my opinion, the fracture called boxers fracture occur in similar circumstances. the first thing you need is an X Ray of the hand to ascertain if you have any fracture or not. hurting the vein is a high probablity as the amount of trauma that can cause fracture always cause damage of small vessels and that is the cause of edema after injury I hope that answers your query. If your want any more clarification, contact me back. Dr Narender Saini
