Mallet Finger Complication
Posted , 1 user is following.
Hello.
I had a mallet finger injury, I used a splint for an appropriate amount of time and now the injury has technically healed.
However, there is a minor complication. The upper joint is now slightly overextended, and I cannot fully bend the finger, even though 3 months have passed (I know bending is supposed to come back gradually, but my level of bending is the same for the last 2 months). There is also a very small bump in the middle part of the finger.
The doctor tried to put the splint in such way that the finger would be overextended, and he said everything was normal when he saw it for the last time.
It's the ring finger.
