Finger fracture can occur following a trauma, sports, or a fall onto your hand. Finger fracture can occur in any of the 3 small finger bones called phalanges (only 2 in your thumb), or the “palm” bones of the hand called metacarpals. A Boxer’s fracture is named for the fracture of the 5th metacarpal (on your pinky side). Fractures will require medical management, but once out of your cast/splint your therapist will create a treatment plan to reduce pain, restore range of motion and strength of your finger/hand, and return you to all your favorite activities.
