[|Human|] Hi! My daughter had wrist fracture surgery on 01/13/2017 with plates and screws. Her incision is healed and she is going thru therapy. She has noticed in the last week that her middle and index fingers are swollen at cuticle area and fingernails are not growing on these fingers. She has slight discomfort around first knuckle and around cuticle. Is this anything to be concerned about?
[|AI|]  Hello, I have studied your case history. You will need X-ray of wrist. Clinical examination is important to rule out ligament injuryAnother possibility of mild subclinical infection. For these symptoms analgesic like ibuprofen and chymotrypsin medication can be started. Apply crêpe bandage over hand and wrist. Do ice fomentation and take rest Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
