Asst. Prof. Dr. Muhammad Humayun Hameed · Answer

It will heal in time , you don&acirc;&euro;&trade;t need to go for surgery. End to end bony healing is only possible with surgery. In plasters end to end healing is not required, we only see the general alignment. Be patient.

Asst. Prof. Dr. Aurangzeb Qureshi · Answer

U have to have 2 views of X-ray done before a final decision can be made. An AP view of the hand and an oblique view. Based on that I can advise whether non operative management can be used or you will need surgery. Early fracture healing may sometimes be visible by end of the 4th week of injury

Asst. Prof. Dr. Mohsin Aijaz Soomro · Answer

yes it wil heal dnt worry

Dr. Latif Khan · Answer

Yes there is a fracture which is acceptable in AP view but lateral view is not available. Ideally it should be fixed with mini plate to allow early movements of MCPJ. Right now have to wait for couple of more weeks for fracture healing.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Muhammad Bilal · Answer

is tip of your finger in neutral position? if it is rotated then surgery is required.
so you should have a check up in clinic by an orthopedic surgeon.
