[|Human|] Hello, I hit my hand last Saturday and obviously broke a blood vessel. The whole top of my swelled immediately and cut a small spot. I iced it immediately and it s been getting better everyday. However, I spot I cut between my index finger and middle finger over the 2 knuckles are still swollen and sore. Should I be concerned? I feel if I broke or chipped a bone in my knuckle, nothing could be done anyway, is that correct?
[|AI|]  Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough clinical examination is advised along with an x-ray. As you have injured your knuckles this could be a small hairline fracture or a chip fracture or a tendon injury. Post clinical examination and with the help of x-ray the diagnosis can be made, and the treatment plan will be initiated. As hand is an important structure in the human body, having a proper examination and treatment is of importance since these injuries responds long later in the life and give unnecessary troubles.in my clinical practice such cases we first take and x-ray and plan the treatment, so the damage to the joint is minimized, and the future complaints are reduced.
