“Dislocated or broken knuckle”
I punched a wall about a month ago and my pinky knuckle has moved downward and to the outside of my hand. The swelling and pain has gone away now. Do you think it’s broken or dislocated? And do I still need to see a doctor?

Hello, From your picture it is most likley you fractured your hand.
I would recommend a consult with a fellowship-trained board-certified hand surgeon in your area to determine the extent of the injury and what treatment you may need to improve your outcome.
