A member asked:
What does the doctor recommend for torn ligaments in your fingers?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: It depends on the degree of the tear (partial of complete), the position of the bones against each other, the degree of the diasthasis (separation). Simple tears may be treated with buddy taping or finger splints, whereas complex ones may require surgical correction.
