Mallet Finger Healing process
Mallet Finger Healing process
All,
I have had mallet finger since march 13 2007 and still have the finger
stack splint on. My question is how do I determine if it is healed?
I know that you should keep it on for 4-6 weeks and I do not want to
go back to the doctor because I think it is a waste. Are there any
signs that it is healed? I know that if I take the splint off my
finger does stay straight, but that could be because it has been stuck
in that position for some time.
Thanks,
J
