[Review] Finger crack, treatment review

My nephew, who was playing basketball and passing the ball during school PE class, sprained his finger while catching a fast-moving ball!

My finger immediately swelled up, and I was contacted by the health office.

I wrapped my finger with a bandage because it was swollen, but I think it would be a good idea to visit an orthopedic surgeon just in case...

So, I went to the hospital with my sister and nephew.

They said I should get an X-ray at the hospital.

After taking an X-ray, it was found that there is a small crack in the finger, so I need to wear a finger splint cast for 2-3 weeks.

I went to the hospital twice a week to check my finger cast for a week.

They checked the finger swelling and also replaced the finger splint and bandage.

There are no other prescribed medications, and I was told not to move my hand or let it come into contact with water.

After about two weeks, an X-ray was taken, and it was said that the hairline fracture had almost healed, so the finger cast bandage was removed.

I was told that I need physical therapy because I haven't been able to move my finger for more than two weeks.

Receive physical therapy twice a week, get hand massages, and be exposed to infrared rays.

They told me to move little by little.

Children's ball play, especially when playing with hard balls, should be done carefully.

I thought it would be okay after a while if I just waited a little after a slight twist...

If you have a crack, hit somewhere, experience swelling or pain, go to the hospital immediately!!
