Brief Answer:
Compression of the radial nerve.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

The numbness of your pointing and middle fingers (possibly half of it, the half facing the thumb) indicates compression of the radial nerve. You should visit a plastic surgeon and get the condition evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query.

Regards,
Dr. Prof. Kunal Saha, General & Family Physician
