My friend crushed his pinky in 5 places and got no help and treatment. Now finger barely moves ans deformed. ?

Any suggestions for him? His finger barley works and his deformed with the bones popped out even though it has been 2 years.


Answers:

Hm....first of all, how does he know that the pinky was "crushed" in five places? I've had patients who put their entire arm into an auger and came out with less. The only way he would have known would been to have had an x-ray, ordered by a physician, who would have then set it. Also, a crush injury of that magnitude would have resulted in major nerve and muscle fiber damage.
Now, maybe if he broke it in one place or two, I could buy the immobility thing. At that point, the only way to fix it would be to have an orthopaedic surgeon re-break it and set it surgically. Either way, medical intervention is necessary.
