It depends on the degree of the fracture. If it is just a crack/hairline fracture, then the treatment can be easy as buddy-taping it to the finger adjacent to it. If the fracture is such that the bone is separated into two, you may need to go to the doctor to have it put back into the right position for it to heal. The doctor may give you a finger splint to immobilize the finger.
It takes around 4-8 weeks for it to heal completely. To check how severe the fracture is, an X-ray is needed.

∙ 12y agoFunny enough, I have one as I'm typing this. The best thing to do is, as I was told, is to keep your foot above the area of your heart, so it can't swell so easy, and put ice on it, but make sure not to keep the ice on too long so it freezes your foot. If you mean a bruise not behind the nail, then it's nothing. Just don't slam your foot into a Basketball like I did!

∙ 9y agoA bruised finger just needs some TLC. When the finger is first injured, put some ice on it. Rest the finger and baby it until it is feeling better.

How fast does a fractured finger heal?
My fractured finger has not healed for over about 3 years so i think I'm stuck with it unless i want to crack it back. If you have a fractured finger treat it right away or you will be stuck with a crooked finger. I agree. I just recently fractured my finger during gym class. I went to urgent care and they put me in a splint. You might want to talk to your doctor about finger therapy to help it work normally again. If the fracture is going into your joint space, it can mess up your finger. So you might have to have surgery.
