Review my xray reports
My little finger of right hand got sprained today and i got an xray. The distal phalanx seems a bit tilted. I am not sure if the mild pain in little finger is due to some dislocation or just a muscle inflammation. Can you pls check the reports and tell if all is fine and what to do to get rid of pain?
