I broke the base of my hand fingers in an accident and now my knuckles have shifted downward. Would a plaster cast be enough to fix it by pulling them back up, or is surgery with a plate the better option? I'm worried about the vacuum effect if they're just pulled up

I have Potts spine at D4 and D5 with TB and got two different opinions one doctor recommends surgery to remove fluid first then TB meds while another says just medication would work what's the best approach for my case
The optimal approach for spinal tuberculosis (Pott's disease) at D4 and D5, with the presence of fluid and differing opinions, depends on the severity of your case, the extent of spinal cord compression, and the presence of abscesses. Both surgical and medical management have a role, and the decision should be made by a multidisciplinary team of experts, considering your specific situation
