x-rays are your friends. as long as you can fully extend (straighten) your small finger, you're probably o.k.---i.e.--fracture is not angulated too much, if it is broken. also, when you make a fist, your small finger should NOT rotate underneath your ring finger--if it does, then there is a rotational deformity at the fracture. you're probably o.k., but won't know for sure unless you get an x-ray
