Q: Re-breaking Bones?
asked by: RD0405 on November 2nd, 2004

Hi, I recently sprained/fractured/broke (not sure which) my hand (or maybe just my knuckle?) it swelled up and was pretty sensitive but wasn't too bad so I didn't go see a doctor. Now that the swelling has gone down I can see that it healed wrong. The bone above my pinkie finger bends upwards, it looks pretty weird. I was wondering what could be done about this? Can a doctor re-break the bone and put it in a splint? Any info/similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Your best bet would be to see an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in hand surgery.It is possible to rebreak the bone and reset it-but you should see a specialist to get all the correct information.Good luck!Patty

Yeah i'm wondering the same thing. Haven't had time to go see my doctor about it yet. Does anybody know how doctors go about re-breaking bones?
