A member asked:
Suffered laceration to lower part of right pinky finger (palm side) while making a jack-o-lantern yesterday. nurse practitioner at urgent care cleaned the wound, put in three stitches and splinted it. how long will finger stiffness due to this last?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is not feasible to provide an estimate without knowing more about the injury. However, you can start moving the finger as the pain allows. You may move the finger passively, early intervention will facilitate normal range of movement.
