I suffered a finger injury that resulted in a snapped tendon and a mallet finger. My sister-in-law who is a hand therapist made a finger splint and I kept my finger splintered for 7 weeks. It took discipline and a strong will to recover to keep the annoying splint on. The splint came off at end of 7 weeks and the mallet was gone. Just a very slight lag at about 3 degrees. From there onwards it took a further four weeks of glide exercisers to strengthen the tendon and get it moving without resistance and able to move and bend fully. I don’t wish this injury type on anyone as it’s a long recovery time and lots of discipline.

Thanks for sharing your story. I suffered an injury to my little finger a.k.a pinky almost a year ago which resulted in mallet finger at DIP joint with almost 20 degree bend. I didn't undergo any treatment and about two months later there was no swelling and no pain either. However, the bend is still there. I have no problem performing day-to-day tasks. But the pinky doesn't look so good. The finger is not from my dominant hand. So do I still need to undergo any treatment? If yes, then is it too late now?

had a bony mallet finger last august, hitting my pinky while loading my suitcase in the car going on holiday... didn't take it seriously, thought if it was broken, I wouldn't be able to bear the pain. cut long story short 2 weeks after doctors said, you 're too late in... bone has started formulating but broken part of the joint is off. you need surgery... surgery done 3 weeks after injury... 1 k-wire in and casting for 5 wks. doctor takes it off. physical therapy started to get the DIP joint moving, 3-4 days a week for 4 weeks... 24 sessions after, the bump on the joint does not subside.. we take an x-ray... joint has healed but bony fractured little piece did not fully sit in the joint... partly out... 50% of times i flex my finger, i hear a crack... lag is not too much but grip and strength of the pinky are impaired..

Fingers are fragile for sure. Although I wished I had this injury instead of lateral band snapping syndrome, which I have in my trigger finger (sport shooter). That injury sucks, since the only option is surgery or just let it get worse. My specialist didn't opt for the surgery since it's mild, but man can it ruin hobbies and using mouse with PC. Also it's too that the injury is very rare also..

Similar happened to me but chasing my underwear LoL. You must put the splint right away and go the Emergency. I guess you did that. Keep the splint straight always. I modified mine splint due my finger can bend inside. I am in the process to take it out after 2 months. my finger is stiff but little by little I hope to recover in one month more.

I'm sorry, my guess is probably not, since we are told that the treatment could be delayed for up to four weeks. In several years, the tendon must have healed in its new position long time ago. But, if you are reluctant towards a surgical fixation, even with a zero expectation from a conservative treatment, I would probably give it a try for two months. Just because such a DIP joint extension splint is very cheap (about 4$ in my country, must be more or less the same everywhere) and it's easy to handle.

had my injury on my left middle finger about 2 years ago. Thought it was just swollen and would go down and haven't thought about it at all. I haven't even noticed it really but comparing to my other finger it has like a hard bump on it. I can still stretch it out and it doesn't seem to affect much or anything at all. Only after googling it now have i gotten mad at it. And it doesn't help to read that "nah, ur fucked. Should've seeked treatment right away" even tho i had no idea at that time... Just so annoying. A bit scared now as to what will happen to it in the future. Hows it going for you? Have you been able to fix it?
