A member asked:
Will stiffness in broken finger ever go away?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes, with time: Fractures of the fingers can result in stiffness, particularly when immobilization exceeds 3 weeks. Tendon adherence can occur or joint involvement lead to persistent stiffness or contracture.

Maybe: Depending on the site and the type of fracture it may improve over one yr. To close to normal the more complex the fracture the longer the time to maximum improvment.
