When i get my cast off from fracturing my pinky, can i weight lift safely?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fractured pinky: This all depends heavily on which bone in the small finger was fractured. Typically, fractures in the hand take 4-6 weeks to heal, therefore, requiring some sort of immobilization for 4-6 weeks.
