Contrast bath---It is a form of treatment where a limb or the entire body is immersed in warm water followed by the immediate immersion of the limb or body in ice water. This procedure is repeated several times, alternating hot and cold. Note that the treatment should always end in the ice water, as heat will induce the body's inflammatory response, while cold helps to decrease inflammation.

It takes almost 6 weeks for the fractured bones to get united. You will to have to move the fingers even when the plaster is on, it will help to decrease the stiffness and swelling. Then after the removal of plaater, Physiotherapy is a must to get proper range, muscle strength, co-ordination, gripping power and precision... Avoid cold exposure and hanging of arm... take care.
