What to do if i had a mallet finger. how long will i be out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Splinting: Mallet finger usually responds well to splinting in extension for 6 weeks. May require nighttime splinting for an additional 2 weeks. You need to not remove the splint at all as flexion may return you to ground zero .
