Punched Right Hand, Fractures, Metacarpal Bones Raising Up.

My punched my right hand to the wall last 2 weeks in fist form, and right now and I have some fractures but my metacarpal bones raising up obviously, I can still move my finger but not much with my pinky and the finger next to it. The X-Ray said I m ok in good position to heal for the fractures, I am not sure about this bossing area.

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement 's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.

As xray is ok and in good position, the bossing area seems to be due to callus(bone) formation which is helpful in healing. Give one week more rest and after that you need physiotherapy exercises to regain range of motion of fingers.
Hope this helps you. You can consult me again directly through my profile http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-saurabh-gupta/64132
Regards.
