Patient's question:
My baby has been playing at home recently and has been very mischievous, often making the house messy and getting scolded frequently. The other day, he slammed the door hard and his little finger tip got crushed by the door. At that time, he cried very hard and couldn't move his finger. I took him to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said it was a fracture and recommended surgical treatment.What assistance is needed: What should be done if the tip of a child's little finger is broken by being crushed by a door?
Doctor's answer:
According to the patient's family's statement, the following reply is made: The severity of the finger fracture determines how surgical treatment should be implemented. If it is not a fracture but simply a hairline fracture, conservative treatment and rest can be applied. If it is indeed a fracture, surgical treatment is necessary. Without surgical intervention, the finger may experience recurring dysfunction, and its aesthetic appearance will be significantly compromised. It should be noted that thorough recovery through exercise is essential. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
