Index finger Injury -not able to fold
Hi ,
My left index finger got injured while trying to stop the ball while playing cricket . I am in USA,upon checking x-ray report physician mentioned minor fracture and suggested to use finger splint for a month. Repeat x ray after a month indicated fracture is healing but also doubted ligamentous injury however physician overlooked it..it's been close to 3months now still i am unable to fold my finger(no pain ).
I strongly feel my injury was overlooked, have attached my reports please check and advise,would like to consult with kannada speaking doctor.
Thanks

Probably your finger got stiff , that is the reason for restricted movement.

Better you upload xray rather than report .
After 3 months can’t change the bony alignment without surgery because it may have united by now,
Do proper physiotherapy and see if you are comfortable and satisfied with movements .
