My wife and I were away over the weekend on a snowmobiling trip. Unfortunately, she was flipped off the snowmobile and got a badly broken and dislocated middle joint of the middle finger. We were out of town at the time. She had surgery there at the regional medical center and now sent home (we live about 200 miles from where she was treated). We have a referral to the hand center in our area. But what should we expect? Like what happens next? 11 weeks 4 days ago 85
I had some special enzyme injections into the palm of my hand to help me straighten my fingers. It worked great for the main joints (my knuckles aren't so bent up) but not for the middle joint. How come? Is this what happens to other people or just me? 14 weeks 4 days ago 137
