Question
A child was playing at home when the tip of their little finger was accidentally squeezed between a door, causing them to cry and be unable to move normally. After hospital examination, it was confirmed that the child had a fracture. How should this situation be handled?
Answer
Based on the information provided by the family, if a child has a fractured finger, the first step is for a professional doctor to assess the severity of the injury. If surgery is not required, conservative treatment and adequate rest should be administered; if surgery is indeed necessary, it should be performed to avoid potential functional disabilities and aesthetic issues with the finger. After treatment, attention should be given to post-operative functional recovery training, and we wish for the patient’s swift recovery.
