Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The treatment of a fractured finger depends on the degree of displacement or angulation. The exact treatment can be advised only after evaluation of the X-rays of the fractured area. You can consult your orthopedician for best management.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
