What is the treatment for a knuckle fracture?
Patient: i broke my hand i went too er they said i fractured 2 bones in my hand my pinky my other dr done some tests said one bone healed and the other didnt and my knuckle still hurts and looks swollen this happend 6 weeks ago i have a app with a orthopedic surgeon too look at it next week how will they fix my knuckle thanks Doctor: Hello,If a broken bone does not fuse then they usually need to do a surgery to repair it. Sometimes this involves putting a pin or screw in the bone and sometimes it involves a bone graft.Regards
