Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

With the history you have given, it is quite possible that your daughter might have sustained a fracture of the proximal phalanx. I suggest an X-ray before any other intervention.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Gopal Goel, Orthopaedic Surgeon
