Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I hit my hand on a table a week ago. I've been icing and wrapping it and although the swelling has gone down, it seems that the plate covering my knuckle has been pushed back? It's on my right pinky finger. I can still move my pinky, but limited range down. It sticks up fine, just can't touch my palm.
I would recommend you to consult your operating Surgeon so that you can get an X-ray done and see how much the plate had moved or if the screws are broken
