Difference between revisions of "Treat a Broken Finger"

{{fa}}A broken finger occurs when you fracture one of the bones in any of your fingers. Your thumbs have two bones and your other digits have three bones. Broken fingers are common injuries, due to a fall while playing sports, fingers getting caught in car doors, bending your finger in an awkward position, or other accidents. To treat your finger properly, you should first determine how severe your injury is. You can then apply home treatment before you head to the nearest hospital.<ref name="rf19339">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2684218/</ref>
