A member asked:
For how long does my broken finger have to recover before i can take up boxing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
6-12 weeks: It takes about 6 weeks for most fractures to heal. In the case of a finger, i would expect the fracture to be healed @ 6 weeks. However, it will likely be stiff and sore. Expect an additional 6 weeks before going back to boxing. Wait until you are pain free. See a board certified orthopaedic hand surgeon for treatment.
