    Fractures of the fingers occur when the finger or hands hit a solid object. Fractures are most common at the base of the little finger (boxer's fracture).

    Early fracture immobilisation and fixation helps to prevent further soft tissue injury and promotes wound and bone healing.

Fracture management depends on the person's overall well-being, fracture ...
