Index finger injured hit by cricket ball
Hi Doctors,
My left index finger was hit while playing cricket, it has been 3months now I am still unable to fold/bend my finger(no pain).
I am in USA, after initial x-ray physician suggested to wear finger splint for a month,followed the same and had a repeat x-ray after a month.
As per physician fracture is healing but however he also suspects ligamentous injury ( i believe it was overlooked as it was not mentioned in the initial x-ray). Now ,I am being referred for occupational therapy.
I have attached reports from recent x-ray please review and suggest , I am looking forward to know your remarks and also consultation.
Thanks
