Hello,
If after fracture there is radiating pain in finger then there can be affection of nerve supplying to your affected limb. Your doctor will do a thorough clinical examination to rule out that and can prescribe some test like MRI, NCV OR EMG study to diagnose the problem. As you are meeting your ortho doctor, you will have a clear picture.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
