I experienced a deep cut on a finger joint & stitches weren't possible. Subsequently my finger was heavily bandaged & motion wasn't possible.
After 3 weeks, the bandage has been removed though there is scab on the joint. I am unable to rotate the fingers. How should I facilitate the healing of the joint and would it leave a scar?
The extent of injury should be assessed by a orthopaedician and only then he or she can give a proper advice only on seeing the degree of injury. We can't treat you blindly without examination and seeing you.
