WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Is My Thumb Broken or Sprained Quiz - Symptoms and Signs
This free, quick self-check reviews thumb-injury signs that may occur with a fracture, sprain, dislocation, or another injury. It is not a diagnosis and cannot confirm or rule out what is broken or sprained; an examination and sometimes imaging are needed. Avoid repeatedly testing the thumb, support it gently, and remove nearby jewelry if this is easy. Seek urgent care for deformity, an open wound, loss of feeling, a blue, pale, or cold thumb, rapidly increasing swelling, or severe worsening pain. Consult a qualified clinician whenever symptoms concern you.
