Meta carpal fracture

2017-12-05 11:57:45
I met with a small accident and got fracture on meta carpal of 4 & 5 finger of right hand. I got a cast applied for uniting of bones. But bone unite for both fingers is misaligned and a mal unite is taking place. Injury is already 15 days older. Is maluniting of bones will have an adverse effect on functionality of fingers and hand.? And is surgery in such case is a necessity
