Hand fracture (boxer fracture)?

I fractured my hand 10 days ago this day. Last night I couldn't handle the pIn n gone to the ER and they numbed it n tried to put it back as much as they could n put a split and that's it. Now that I'm 10 days late fixing this hand if mine. How much is this splint going to save me and for how long till I can remove it. They didn't say anything besides I shouldn't waited so long.

    Your hand will heal fine (for the most part) since you did wait 10 days the healing process had already begun before you sought medical attention. But since they did set it "as best they could" you should be fine, you may notice a small change after the healing process is completely finished (very, very, very small change in range of motion or an early onset of arthritis in your later years)
