FINGER FRACTURE

Although the bones in the hand are small, a broken (fractured) finger is not a minor injury. The bones in a normal hand line up precisely. They let you perform many specialized functions, such as grasping a pen or manipulating small objects in your palm. When you fracture a finger bone, it can cause your whole hand to be out of alignment. Without treatment, your broken finger might stay stiff and painful.

​

General Symptoms May Include:

• Swelling of the fracture site

• Tenderness at the fracture site

• Bruising at the fracture site

• Inability to move the injured finger in completely

• Deformity of the injured finger
