Can a dislocated finger ever heal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes : Finger dislocations almost always heal. Most important you want to make sure there is no fracture (get an xray). The biggest problem we see with finger dislocations is stiffness. Occupational therapy is commonly needed to get the range of motion back.
