Got a mallet finger. how long will i be out of playing baseball?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mallet finger: I typically recommend 8 weeks of full time and 4/6 weeks of night time and part time activity splinting on the distal joint only . You can work with a mallet finger that is splinted . Dirk nowitzki played in the 2011 nba finals with this injury. But he had a full time trainer to take care of him http://handcenterwma.Blogspot.Com/2011/06/mallet-finger-baseball-finger.Html.
