Broken knuckle
I hit something about a week ago. My hand was really swollen i didn't think i broke anything just figured it was bruised but now the swelling has went down and my ring finger knuckle seems to be sunk in and my pinky knuckle pushed back in my hand. If i got to the doctor can they still reset it even though its been a week already?

Hi
Thanks for writing to the forum!
A week old fracture would have started healing but would not have gained strength. Without examination it is difficult to comment. Today many techniques are available to correct bone injuries. Consult an orthopedic specialist.
Hope this helps. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
Hello,
It is difficult to say without examination, but it can be a small joint fracture which need to be ruled out by x-ray of the wrist,till the time proper support need to be given.So as soon as possible you should consult to orthopedist as small joint can be reset even a week later.
