If i had a broken finger and didn't get it fixed what could happen?

Answer:
has to be set within a certain # of hours after breaking it. It will be okay but depending on the severity of the break it will heal "deformed" and as you get older you will have bad arthritis in it.

My cousin had a broken finger, but no one realized it was broken until it was too late to do anything. Her finger is kind of crooked now, but it isn't incredibly noticable. It all depends on where and how bad the injury is.

You could feel pain in the future if you ever want to lift weights someday or work construction or lift a heavy object.

i think its like when you break your toe...it will heal but it may stay crooked and if your still growing it may stay short ( that happen to my little brothers toe) but if you dont want to go to the dr. the cheap way to make a splent is get two popcicle sticks and tape them around your finger...GOOD LUCK!

it will be crooked like mine......

Depending in the type of break, but the biggest problem would be if it didn't grow back straight. That would suck if you went the rest of your life with a club finger. If it was completely broken in two, then the bone ends could shred the muscles, tendons, nerves, ligaments... in your finger. Then you would have a worthless club finger.

As mentioned it usually will heal, but, most times it be crooked. If, for some reason the break does not actually mend, the broken bone would in time dissolve and be gone. Bone is actually a tissue and just as a cut will heal and have a scar without stiches, and have less scar with stiches. A bone will do similar and heal.

it could develop a blood clot and you could die

You could expect to experience more pain during the healing process and of course, the bone would not knit in its natural form. This will cause less flexibility in the joint and over time, you can expect calcium deposits to form.

If you break a bone, and you don't get it fixed, then it will not heal correctly. One way in which doctors treat a broken bone is done with Cast Immobilization. The cast is made of plaster, or fiberglass and the doctors place the cast on the injury after the bone has been repositioned and aligned correctly. The cast keeps the bone from moving, and therefore it assist the bone in healing correctly. FREE workouts
