Thumb hasn't bent in 15+ years

2018-01-16 20:53:04
I fractured my right thumb in 5th grade in a car door. It was splinted, never "set," the knuckle is at an odd angle, and the knuckle only bends a little. There has been no improvement in function since the PT stage, over 15 yrs ago. (I didn't follow PT very close, but learned my lesson.) I am curious what my corrective options there are. How do I start that conversation?
