Talk to Orthopedic Surgeon on Bone Fractured (Metacarpal) Not Healing
Asking For Self, Male, 26 Years old, lahore
Assalamu Alaikum, I suffered a fracture in the Metacarpal III (middle finger) of my right hand due to a road accident. I was treated with plaster immobilization for three weeks by an orthopedic surgeon. After three weeks, there was no significant improvement as expected, so the plaster was removed, and I was advised to use a splint for another two weeks.
The doctor mentioned that if there is no improvement after this period, surgery might be required. Currently, I am using the splint but also using my right hand for typing and computer work, which involves finger movements.
I am confused about whether I should wait for two more weeks to see progress or consult a senior orthopedic surgeon for a second opinion.
I have attached my X-ray and report for reference. Please advise on the best course of action.
