A member asked:
I dislocated my finger 2 months ago. is there a possibility to put it back now without surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: It's possible, but if your finger has truly been dislocated for that long then it may require surgical treatment and there may be other issues such as permanent deformity of the joint. You really should go see an orthopedist as soon as possible for further evaluation and treatment.
