The only reason i didn't go to the doctors sooner is because the worker at our school who is a specialist said it was stoved and to wait. But since it hasnt healed i went to the doctors and it's mosly likey broken. Thxx for the help :]

More than likely they will have to rebreak it and set it properly, if you still have full use of it they will just leave it as it is.

It depends on what type of break and where the break occurred. My mother had broken her finger, but because she had waited too long, it had already healed (incorrectly). Since it wasn't a clean break, the doc said there wasn't anything they could do (it was actually broken in several places). If it is possible to break it again and have it mend properly with a cast or a splint they will probably opt to do that. In your case, it sounds like your finger is still broken, so they may just apply a splint to allow the bone to heal as normally as possible.

do no longer waste some time going to the ER for an harm that got here approximately months in the past. there is not any longer something they might do for you there different than refer you to a hand healthcare expert. If there's a coaching hospital with a residency software interior sight you are able to properly be waiting to get into their health facility. in case you have an exciting case now and lower back you will additionally be moved up the waiting record on the learning hospitals. Worst case concern you wait till you have coverage and as long as that's not denied for being preexisting you have got a reconstruction then.

It depends on the severity of the break and how it has healed in those 3 months. If the bone set up all weird they'll probably re-break it.

Usually they have to re-break it. If it's been broken for a few months, than it's already started to heal, but it's healing incorrectly and in the wrong position. They'll re-break it, set it in the right position, and let it heal correctly.

The first thing that "they" will do is hide it in some kind of camouflage paint as so it will NOT stick out like a broken thumb . . . After all, it's NOT a broken thumb . . . It's a broken finger. (Of course, this could require some health-care practitioner who is probably quite apt in finger painting . . . I suspect.)

Yes, it is healed by now so they will have to rebreak it and set it correctly.
BUMMER! You should have had it set when you first broke it to avoid all the pain and cost.

They rebreak it and set it. Of course they do it so as to make the patient as comfortable and as non-painless as possible.
