Sir, my fifth metacarpal had fracture on 4 march, but I couldn't take the treatment bcz my 12th examination was started from 5th of March. When I go to doctor now they say that your fracture is repaired so no bandage is required. I feel a band in my 5th metacarpal. Is it makes any problem in future or there is any disadvantage of it. Please tell me.

It's almost a month since fracture it might be healed by now. Nothing to do now. Don't get it hand massage done by anyone. You can apply crepe bandage if you like and take analgesic if you feel any pain at any sort of time. Start with it activities gradually with this hand and gradually lift the weight. Don't worry about the band. For further assistance you can send x-ray personally and can further discuss on this.
