Not able to bend finger after kwire
Hi,
I had a fracture in my right hand little finger because of bike skid and undergone kwire surgery for the same 4 weeks back. After kwire removal and two days of physio(wax). I am still not able to bend the little finger. It is still straight. Is this normal or any complications? I have attached my after accident and before kwire removal x-rays for the same. Pls provide your thoughts.

The small joints of your fingers are prone for stiffness following treatment. You should definitely get better with time and proper physiotherapy.
