Brief Answer:
hi

Detailed Answer:
yes, there is a fracture of proximal phalanx head but it is nondisplaced and noncomplicated so it will heal with no consequances. In such cases it is recommended to have finger immobilisated for 15.20 days and then repeat Xrays. It can be immobilized with finger special splints or with forearm casts if these are not available. Wish you good health. Regards
