[QUOTE="Oklahomabassin, post: 2507864, member: 1546"] I broke my 5th metacarpal (bone between knuckles of fingers and wrist. #1 is thumb, #5 is little finger) when I was 15 or so. I went 2 weeks without going to doctor, I was kinda stubborn. At first when I picked up a text book and tried to hold it flat the little finger would give out. I just did everything like an English man drinks tea, I just kept the little finger in the air. When I did go to the doctor, he had an x ray done and said "yep, you have a boxers fracture." " It is already healing up and will need to be re broke so it can be set right." He wanted to schedule an appointment for surgery. (not actual surgery but he wanted to put me under to re break it. I just made a fist and punched into the exam table and then said its broke again! He ordered his nurse to get an Ace bandage and a plaster splint. He soaked the plaster under warm water and then massaged my hand some to line the bones up properly. He formed the plaster splint around the last 2 fingers on my hand and then wrapped it good. He said in 3 weeks I should be good to go. I didn't have any problems. [/QUOTE]
