A minimally displaced fracture involving the right-hand index finger proximal phalanx seems stable.
The swelling of the surrounding soft tissue of index finger proximal phalanx also is noted.
Case Discussion
Treatment can be conservative in case of a non-displaced fracture, but the method of immobilization may vary between orthopedic surgeons. The important point in the recent case is that any suspected fracture must be checked in at least 2 views.
