Broken Finger Treatment

Self-Care at Home

  • Make a splint (immobilize the finger - you may put a popsicle stick or pen next to it and wrap something around the stick and the finger).
  • As you drive to the emergency department, apply ice to the injured finger. Do not apply ice directly to the skin. Put a towel between the ice and the finger.
