It needs ti be splinted to heal better in order to keep it straight, protected and immoblle. Two tongue blades on each side of the finger then wrapped with tape would help a lot.

Treatment for broken finger?
Try to immobilize the injured finger until you can seek medical assistance by using a small splint and wrapping it with gauze or tape. A splint can be made from any small rigid object, like a wooden craft stick or even a spoon if it's necessary. 2 Ice the injured finger to reduce swelling. Remove any jewelry from the entire hand, since swelling could spread to other areas. Avoid placing ice directly on the skin by using an ice pack or plastic bag. Keep the finger elevated above the level of your heart if possible. 3 Seek medical help as soon as you can. The usual medical treatment for a broken finger is X-rays, followed by a splint, unless the fracture is severe enough to warrant orthopedic surgery. 4 Continue to use ice packs after you get home to keep the swelling down, and take an over-the-counter pain medication such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen to give you relief. Using a pillow to help elevate the finger while at rest will also help to reduce swelling. 5 Investigate online resources such as the eMedicineHealth website for more information on how to care for a broken finger (see Resources below). 6 Make sure you follow up with a doctor to make sure the finger healed properly and that all dexterity has returned to the finger within a few weeks. While it is common for a broken finger to heal slightly crooked, movement should not be restricted.
