Stiffness in the ring finger
Dear Sir,
I had my fingers fractured due to accident and was treated with K wire surgery.
After the removal of K wire I have post traumatic stiffness in my right hand ring finger. And I am unable to bend or mobilise the finger.
Currently undergoing wax therapy for the same. During physiotherapy the finger gets some mobilisation and after 15mins it's goes back to its stiff form.
I can't get the range in the particular finger.
Please refer the X rays taken during accident and take before 2 days

Hello. Ur fracture has healed really well. No need to be alarmed. Stiffness is the most common complication. Continue physiotherapy and exercises and gradually movement will increase.
