A member asked:
My daughter dislocated her finger three weeks ago, and it had to be fixed surgically, now she does physiotherapy once a week, but her finger is stiff
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal: Dislocations requiring surgery are very stressful to finger joints and require long-term therapy. Patience and persistence are vital to the optimal result.
