HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such numbness of little finger is not due to fracture but this could be due to cervical spinal disc disease and this need to be ruled out and for this better to get done the CT of cervical spine, till then cervical belt (Support ) can be used, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
