Conditions
Finger Fracture
A finger fracture is a break in one or more of the bones in the fingers.
Causes
- The bones in the fingers are delicate and can be damaged from a trauma
- A direct fall, a crush injury, or a sports-related injury.
- Osteoporosis can also increase the risk of a finger fracture in older adults.
Symptoms
- Pain and swelling in the affected area.
- Difficulty moving the finger .
- Obvious deformity in the finger's appearance.
- Bruising or discoloration of the skin surrounding the affected area.
Treatment
- Finger fracture will depend on the type and severity of the fracture.
- A simple splint or buddy-taping may be sufficient in simple cases
- In more severe cases, surgery may be necessary to realign the bones.
- Physical therapy will be recommended to restore strength and flexibility.
It is important to seek medical attention promptly if you suspect you have a finger fracture. Early diagnosis and treatment can help to minimize the risk of long-term complications and ensure a successful outcome. Finger fractures, if left untreated or improperly treated, can lead to permanent stiffness, weakness, and deformity of the affected finger.
