Does it make sense that the middle bone in my finger is broken but the top bone !


Question: Does it make sense that the middle bone in my finger is broken but the top bone is crooked!?
I broke my finger 4/24!. I knew it was broken because the top joint was bet about 45 degrees!. When I went to the ER, they XRayed it and said it was a nondisplaced longitudnal fracture!. My followup visit with a hand specialist said it was broken but appears straight!. While the 45 degree angke has subsided, I still (and anyone without a medical degree) maintain my finger is crooked!. I called the Dr!. back and he said he would look again next week!. Meanwhile, I am wondering what could be going on with the top bone that is crooked while the middle bone is the one that broke!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
there are different bones in a finger!. so one might be broken while another could be displaced!. and if its given time to heal be sure you gently massage it every so often to prevent scar tissue from building up!. i broke and fractured 3 different fingers before and didnt take care of them well!.!.!.theyre still crooked and cant be straight anymore!.!.so take care of it and good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

it rests on the middle bone so if the middle bone is broken it can turn!. also if it isnt completely straightened when they splint it it can stay crooked!.!.!.might always be like that unless u have it re-broken!.!.!.plus it has only been 2 weeks!.!.!.give it a little timeWww@Answer-Health@Com

Sounds like the middle bone is twisting because of the way it's broken!. Longitudinal would let it turn so it appears that the one above it is crooked!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm no doctor and I've never broken a finger but it might be that the swelling simply makes it appear as though a bone is out of line!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
