After a cast is removed from a broken wrist, finger numbness can persist for a few days to several weeks, depending on the severity of the injury and any nerve involvement. This numbness is often due to swelling, stiffness, or irritation of the nerves. It's important to gently move and rehabilitate the fingers to promote circulation and healing. If numbness continues or worsens, it's advisable to consult a healthcare professional.

Answering "How long should you need to keep a splint on a broken finger?"
Ask the doctor who put it on.
8-10 weeks
dontt ask stupid things
Starting at about the wrist, the pointed index finger moves up the length of the arm.
It take around 6 weeks in an orthopedic cast to recover properly from a broken leg. If a surgery is performed for a broken leg then too the recovery period is 6 weeks, but one can walk from almost the 3-4th day and put full weight on the leg.
It is safe as long as the skin is not broken.
work it out on ur bf til it goes bk to normall, hehe have fun :(
I hurt my pinkie finger playing Volleyball and it was swollen for 4 weeks so I finally went to the doctor. It ended up to be an avulsion fracture (small fracture). If your finger is broken it will be swollen. But take note: YOU CAN BEND YOUR FINGER IF IT IS BROKEN. Everyone told me that if it was broken, I wouldn't be able to bend it. And I could bend it and it was broken. If you think you hurt you pinkie, get it x-rayed. Now, because I waited so long, it will take longer to heal. Take Care and Good Luck.
It can be very serious depending on the conditions of the break. If you have a non-union like I did it can take a long time. I had a long arm cast for 5 months and a wrist brace for 3 more months and I'm still not healed. The scaphoid is on of the slowest healing bones in the body and many times requires surgery with a pin, screw, bone graft, or a combination of a pin and a bone graft.If you are lucky enough to catch the break early, it can simply be treated with a cast for up to 6 weeks. It all depends on the severity and conditions of your break.
I'm sorry that you have a broken arm- how long the cast will be on, depends upon what type of a break it was, and also how long it has been on already. It's best if you ask your local hospital about this. GET WELL SOON!!
