I have an oblique, intraepiphyseal, nondisplaced fracture in my thumb, when will i be able to play baseball again?

6 weeks: These injuries in young patients are called salter harris injuries and usually heal within 6 weeks. Patients may still have pain and some stiffness for longer with sports activities. Using it sooner will increase the risk of completion of the fracture.
