How to treat a bruised finger joint

Most of the sprained finger joints are considered to have soft tissue injuries or phalangeal fractures, which can be treated through acute treatment, medication, and surgical treatment.
1. Acute treatment: finger sprain should be braked and elevated immediately, within 72 hours of the injury to the local cold compresses to reduce local swelling, 72 hours after the local hot compresses to accelerate blood circulation so that the bruise dissipation, if necessary, with a brace or a small splint to fix the finger, pay attention to the observation of peripheral blood flow.
2. Medication: Oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and diclofenac sodium can be prescribed for pain relief and anti-inflammatory treatment.
3. Surgical treatment: If the finger sprain bruise is more serious, you need to carry out X-ray examination, to determine whether there is a joint dislocation or fracture, if necessary, to carry out joint repositioning, fracture repositioning and internal fixation surgery.
If the finger joints sprain bruises, it is recommended that the patient timely hospital consultation, through the examination of a clear diagnosis after targeted treatment, to avoid aggravating the condition.
