Finger dislocation and continuing sports. should i always buddy tape the weaker finger?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
6-12 weeks: I recommend continued buddy strapping during at-risk sports for 6-12 weeks after injury. Better safe than sorry. Remember to get those hands up in anticipation of the ball!
