Now, the hand specialist on the other hand, says it's the tendons and NOT a break! Grrr! Enough of the back-and-forth diagnoses! Give him an answer already! The doctor did say that whether it's the tendons or if it's broken doesn't matter since the treatments are the same. They put some kind of molded splint on his finger that prevents him from bending it at all. He's supposed to wear it for 6 weeks and then go back for a follow-up visit. So much for playing softball this season, but he pretty much already knew that.
Here is a picture of his broken finger (the ring finger on his right hand):
And, here are pictures of the x-ray:

Hi, my name is Tiffany. I came across your blog on the internet about the "broken" finger and was interested in how things have turned out. I have an injury that I am seeing a specialist for in a couple of days that appears to be almost exactly the same. The only difference is mine is the ring finger on my left hand and the swollen, bowed knuckle is the next one up toward the big knuckle on my hand. The x-ray report said it was broken but neither the doc nor I could see a visible break. He thinks it's the tendons also. I would love to hear how the finger is now. My email address is babyblueiz13@aol.com. Thanks for your time. God Bless.
