I have an angulated fracture in my finger!!!what exactly does that mean?!
Question: i am jr in high school n i play baseball on the school team. friday we had a game and on my last at bat i went against a big right handed pitcher who was throwing between 80-85 mph. he threw my a fast ball inside and i swung at it but somehow it hit me on my right index finger. the sound of the impacy sounded as if i made contact with the bat, not my hand. it hurt but i thought it was just a bruise so i finished my at bat. later on i noticed though that it was extremly swollun and it hurt during any movement or pressure. today i went to the doctor for x rays and they saw a noticable break. but when they magnified the image they were very suprised n worried n saw it was alot worse than they thought. she said i have an angulated fracture on my finger (whatever that means) its below the joint of my finger. anyway she said i have to go to an orthapedic specialist and he will have to "properly fix it" so it can heal correctly. wat does this mean? how will they fix it? n how long am i out 4?

i think its coz ur finger was bent wen it fractured so they have 2 straighten it bk without makin it worse,u probably will b out 4 about a month or 2
It would be best if you go to a specialist, they could really help you. Don't leave your finger untreated, in the long run it will only make it worse for yourself. I know you are probably really irritated right now, because you want to be able to play your baseball game, but I might as well tell you now; you won't be able to play for a while if it is going to take time to heal.
