I suffered a finger injury that resulted in a snapped tendon and a mallet finger. My sister-in-law who is a hand therapist made a finger splint and I kept my finger splintered for 7 weeks. It took discipline and a strong will to recover to keep the annoying splint on. The splint came off at end of 7 weeks and the mallet was gone. Just a very slight lag at about 3 degrees. From there onwards it took a further four weeks of glide exercisers to strengthen the tendon and get it moving without resistance and able to move and bend fully. I don’t wish this injury type on anyone as it’s a long recovery time and lots of discipline.

had a bony mallet finger last august, hitting my pinky while loading my suitcase in the car going on holiday... didn't take it seriously, thought if it was broken, I wouldn't be able to bear the pain. cut long story short 2 weeks after doctors said, you 're too late in... bone has started formulating but broken part of the joint is off. you need surgery... surgery done 3 weeks after injury... 1 k-wire in and casting for 5 wks. doctor takes it off. physical therapy started to get the DIP joint moving, 3-4 days a week for 4 weeks... 24 sessions after, the bump on the joint does not subside.. we take an x-ray... joint has healed but bony fractured little piece did not fully sit in the joint... partly out... 50% of times i flex my finger, i hear a crack... lag is not too much but grip and strength of the pinky are impaired..

Bruh I've had all mallet fingers since birth, I can make my fingers into claws anytime.

hello anyone ? , one question , if the outcome after 10 weeks splinting the pinky finger is not 90-100% but theres a little bend , is it something normal or i need surgery ? or even splinting it again ..

I just got injured while taking off my pants and my middle finger is bent. I can only get help in 5 days from now as I am in Mogadishu. What can I do in the mean time?

Car crash last night. Now I have a mallet finger on my pinky finger. I guess I need a splint. Ordering one off Amazon.
