Hello Doctor,
I am asking this issue for my father.From three months my father is suffering from hand pain as they are having arthritis so we thought its because of that but when the pain doesn't go away so we consult a orthopedic doctor and he advised to take xray. After xray it has been found that , their hand proximal
Phalange bone was fractured althought if was hairline fracture but due to improper care their 2 and 3rd proximal phalanges bones got joined and they said they can not do anything. So I am asking on behalf of my father is there any solution for this.As they are facing pain in that region frequently and there is swelling on the hand from last couple of months.
Kindly advise the solution. Thank you.

It would have been better if you posted pictures of the hand also.
There is cause for alarm.
Good physiotherapy will help him regain most of the hand functions.
