A member asked:
After a dislocated finger, how long usually does it take to heel?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: It depends on few things, how long did you have dislocation before it was reduced, what was the degree of dislocation, was it the first time, were there any previous injuries. Complete healing might take up to 6 months, and slight discomfort might persist for as long as 18 months.
