how long should i splint a dislocated finger
Aftercare for a broken finger. A broken finger usually takes between two and eight weeks to heal, depending on which part of the finger is broken and how severe the break is. It may be a few months before full strength returns to the affected finger. The splint will be removed when the bone has healed. This will be after about two to three weeks for most people. Once the splint is taken off, keeping the finger moving as much as possible will help stop it becoming stiff. A physiotherapist may be able to advise you about some gentle hand exercises.
