Stabbed finger- feels like its broken! Please help?

Question

My brother works at a deli and was cutting up some meat and cut his finger. It was a really deep cut and is swollen and blue. Could he have possibly have broken his finger?

He is icing it right now and is wondering if he should get it taped up to another finger?

Any suggestions.

Its 1 AM so we really don't know what to do being that it is so late.

Please help!

Answer 4

Go to emergency now, they'll give a tetanus shot to be safe. You surely have infected it. They'll give you antibiotics as well. Don't leave it this way.

Answer 5

If it is a really deep cut then he will most likely need stitches.

You should drive him to the hospital immediately. They get patients like this all the time, even at 1am =P

I hope he feels better soon, best of luck!

Answer 6

He definitely needs to go to the ER. He will have to get a Tetanus shot, if he hasn't had one, especially if he was cutting meat. It's hard to break his finger with just a knife, he may have put a scratch on the bone. It's getting an infection that worries me and should be worrying him. Good luck.
