Finger fracture
I suffered a fall and sustained a left little finger distal phalanx fracture with malunion. I subsequently underwent an ORIF with percutaneous K-wire fixation. Now, I am 15 days short of two months out of the operation with sutures and K-wires having already been removed. The wound has healed nicely and I have no pain, but the finger still seems to be stiff not allowing me to make a full fist and I still feel numb while gripping things.
Kindly advise.

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
Usually it takes certain time. Have you done exercises of the finger?
Get it checked out by a orthopedician in person for further evaluation and and management.
Upon examining, he will know what exactly seems to be the problem.
Best regards.
