Additional Information

Home Treatments:

Initial treatment of a finger fracture may include rest, ice and compression. The finger should not be used after the injury has occurred and the swelling should be reduced by using ice packs on the area for 20 minutes at a time, 4-8 times per day for the first several days. Complete recovery of a finger fracture usually involves professional treatment.

Professional Medical Treatments:

Most finger fractures can be properly treated using a splint to straighten the finger properly and promote healing over time. Pain or anti inflammatory medications may be advised. In severe cases, surgery may be suggested.

Physical Therapy and Exercises:

Simple flexion and extension exercises of the affected finger is usually the final process in complete recovery of a fracture. Gradually performing these exercises by squeezing a ball or holding a weight bearing object also helps. Sport specific exercises will further recover the mobility and use of the affected finger.

Exercise Techniques to Prevent Injury:

Maintaining upper body strength via weight bearing exercises will aid in the prevention of finger fractures. Because it is an acute trauma, strenuous impact of the fingers when playing a sport should be avoided. automobiliu-supirkimas-1.lt - superkame automobilius Vilniuje už ger? kain?
