Following fracture, my finger appears to be tilted. How to correct it?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

One week is a good time to correct any deformities in the finger if you do not feel that it is straight. Do not delay. Seek immediate consultation or upload the x-ray and show it to me as soon as possible. Also, upload the clinical photograph of the finger. I can see and accurately advice. If you delay, then the soft tissues and bone will set and it will be impossible to correct or straighten the finger later.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I saw the clinical images of your hand and also the x-rays (attachment removed to protect patient identity). I feel that there is some rotational malalignment of the finger, but the length of the finger is fine. You should visit a nearby orthopedic surgeon and get this rotational malalignment of the finger corrected manually. He will put your finger in a splint or a good buddy strapping the finger after correcting the alignment. If you delay it by a few days, then the fracture will heal and it will be impossible to correct the rotational malalignment.

Thank you.
