Broken fingers

[K99]

If you break your fingers how long do they have to stay bandaged up for?

Bandaged and more importantly, splinted for at least three weeks..

What does splinted mean?

[undercovers]

karabulut means with something ridgid down them to hold them in the correct position. But when i broken my fringer the docs straped the broken one to a unbroken one for the support it needed. If you haven't see a doc you really should - just to make sure the bones are in the right positions, if they set wonky at best you'll have a funny looking finger and worst you'll be in a lot of discomfort and lose the proper use of your digit with the added risk of arthritis etc. so go get some proper medical care. or to talk to some one better qualified than us give http://www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk/ nhs direct a call on 0845 4647
