Got hurt after accident
Hi Doctor,
My fiance met with an accident and has injured his finger. The finger is swelled up but the doctor has said that it doesn't have a fracture. But he is not able to move the finger either.
Attached are the reports and finger image for your reference. Can you please let me know what could be the reason?
