SUBJECT: Rehabbing a finger that was splinted MESSAGE: I badlydislocated my finger 7 weeks ago. I reset it myself as it happened late in the evening. I splinted it myself with a store-bought splint because of concern for a break as well as ligament damage. I just went to see an orthopedic doctor for the first time today (yes, I'm kicking myself for not going earlier). The X-ray showed that the finger is still offset somewhat, perhaps indicating that some of the ligaments were ruptured. (The bone was ok. I guess we won't know if it was ever broken.) Nonetheless, I have to see a surgeon for an opinion in a few days. Meanwhile, there is still some swelling and the ring finger that was in the splint is out but stiff as a board. I'm concerned and not sure what possibilities to expect. I certainly know you won't know what the situation is or what the surgeon will say but I was curious (a) what possibilities I might expect and (b) how problematic it is that the finger is so stiff...should I expect to regain motion...can it be rehabbed? I'm assuming so, and if so, how long does it take to regain motion from a finger that has been splinted for so long?

What are the treatments and prognosis for a dislocated finger not initially treated?

SUBJECT: Stroke Due to Aneurysm? MESSAGE: My son had a hemmorhagic stroke at 4 weeks of age....he is now 31 years old. In the week leading up to the stroke he had a head cold and I had been giving him infant cold drops. After he had the stroke the doctors at the time could only say that it was a 'fluke' and would probably never happen again. The reason for the stroke has haunted me ever since. Now we just recently found out that my mother has a cerebral aneurysm and they say this can be hereditary. So my question now is 'did my son have an aneurysm that burst or was it caused by a blood clot?...is there anyway of knowing or getting an answer to that question after the event has happened?

Can the cause of hemmorhagic stroke be determined many years later?
