My brother was diagnosed with mallet finger. Any tips or suggestions for him??
healthtap.com — “Soft-tissue mallet fingers (tendon only, no bone fracture) are my least favorite injury because results are almost always less than perfect. I used to splint continuously for 6 weeks and then at night only for 2. Now I splint continuously for 2 months followed by night only for 1 month. Best results the longer you splint full time. There will always be a lag (mallet deformity) to some degree.” View full resource at healthtap.com
