How to heal a broken knuckle hand

When hitting with a closed fist often damaged knuckles index and middle fingers, as they represent the main striking force. Some people believe that the damaged skin will heal on their own, however, such damage does not always take place easily and quickly.

Impact

If the blow was too strong, the tendon can completely rupture, causing the corresponding fingers will cease to stretch without assistance.

In the presence of atypical clinical manifestations, representing no visible displacement of the tendon on palpation and full range of motion of the fingers, the man most often ignores the trauma. As a result, the tendon after transfer of the damage in the chronic phase may re-shift and swell, and the treatment it will be significantly complicated by cicatricial contraction. To avoid this, you must immediately after injury, visit the emergency ward and an x-ray of the hand and wrist joint.
