Metacarpal Fracture

2023-02-03 11:39:46
I had an metacarpal 3rd fracture on 26.12.2022, diagnosed with fracture next day and got plaster without any elevation for 25 26 days, after that cast was removed ( almost 4 week) and I was told that fracture has been joined. Then i took an x ray to see, it shows almost like the fracture day type x ray ( only a little difference, few part has been joined and some gaps are reduced), now i have Swelling on my hand, which is reducing very slowly, I am able to move my fingers, little wrist and little fist. Is Swelling going to last more??

Kindly consult your doctor who applied the plaster cast and follow his advise.
