A member asked:
Pinky pip joint dislocated 3months ago. its still swollen the same amount for 2months with the same amount of reduced movement.any treatments for that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Therapy: Wrapping (coban) can reduce swelling, but pip is a very unforgiving joint with trauma. Hand therapy and dynamic splinting can help mobility, but some swelling will remain.
