   For most fractures with less than 70 degrees of angulation, buddy taping and a tensor bandage resulted in similar outcomes to reduction with splinting. [4] In those with more than 70 degrees of angulation or in which the broken finger is rotated, reduction and splinting may be recommended. [3] They represent about a fifth of hand fractures. [4]
