Metarcarpal and finger fracture
Hi Doctor, Thanks in advance for reading and answering my question. 3 weeks ago i had an injury aftering seeing x-ray my doctor told no surgery required just casting is enough for 4-5 weeks it will heal. Right now its 3 weeks (attached x-ray of 3rd week by removing cast) Will it heal correctly and my finger movements will be back as normal? My middlefinger matacarpal head creates any problem for me? Its lightly damaged as per x ray. Your answer would really help me.
