What can i do to remedy mallet finger?

Surgery or splinting: If the mallet finger just happened - a splint for 6 weeks under the supervision of a physician. If it is an older injury, the only way to correct a mallet finger would be surgery.

See your doc: Treatment is fairly specific but often surgery is not necessary.
