If the joint on your index finger is severely swollen and you think it's broken will a doctor put a cast on it
Question:
Answers:
Casts are not applied to digits on the hands. Your doctor will do an X-ray to determine whether or not it is broken, dislocated, or sprained - then will likely tape it to the middle finger and secure both to a splint. Ice should be applied, and Tylenol or Motrin can ease the pain. After that, all it takes is time to heal.
Often they have you wear a splint that is attached to the next finger to stabilize it. Not usually a cast. Ouch! Sorry!
