Yes, you often get a cast for a broken finger.
* Simple fractures: These are typically treated with a splint or cast to immobilize the finger and allow it to heal properly.
* More complex fractures: These may require surgery and a cast afterward.
However, some broken fingers don't require a cast:
* Stable fractures: Some fractures are very stable and don't need immobilization. These are often treated with a simple bandage and taping to protect the finger.
* Minor fractures: Very small, hairline fractures might heal on their own without any casting.
Important note: You should always consult a doctor if you suspect a broken finger. They can diagnose the fracture and determine the best course of treatment for your specific case.
