Normal: Will take 4 to 6 weeks for acute edema to settle down and up to 8 months to get to an end point in reactive changes due to the fracture.

Finger stiffness is: Common after a fracture. Proper splint position is essential as poor positioning can increase siffness and prolong recovery. Hand therapy earlier than later often is a very worthwhile investment of time and resources even if you don't think you need it..To avoid later issues.
