A member asked:
I now have a mallet finger. what types of surgery can fix it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pins, pins and wire: Surgical repair may be considered when mallet finger injuries also show signs of large fracture fragments or joint malalignment. In these cases, surgery is done to repair the fracture using pins, pins and wire, or even small screws. Surgery may also be considered if nonsurgical treatment fails.
