Finger bones

2022-08-01 15:44:22
Hi Doctor, I got my finger bones broken/cracked by playing outdoor game past 3 days. Took x-ray and my treating doctor puts POP to full hand till fingers. Asked me to revisit hospital after 3 days, today i went for 2nd X-ray. By comparing 1st and 2nd he told the bone gap is lighlty increased so he asked me to continue the same POP for 2 more weeks. Then if dint heal after 2 weeks he will do k-wire surgery. I am scared and not confident on treatment because the doctor didnot changed the POP, It becomes loose..though he asked me to continue the same for 2 more weeks. Will this way helps me to cure? Should i wait for 2 weeks or any other treatment do i need to get? Or Ancient method treatment like PUTTUR Bone setter can i try? Please answer my quetions

Hello, All fractures are mildly displaced but alignment is good.As per your doctor,whatever he said is correct accordingly.But decision to go for pop or cast varies doctor to doctor depending upon his experience.You have to trust fully your doctor in order to take satisfying treatment. At present by looking at X-ray,I would suggest to go for k wire.

Just trust your doctor and continue what he says. It will heal with POP even if the POP is loose. If you r not having any pain with loose POP, it doesn’t matter.
