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, visited orthopaedics 2 weeks after... ...." you came too late... bone has started formulating and broken part of the joint is off, cannot be pushed back in." fracture was > 30% < 50%....with volar subluxation ...." you need surgery..." surgery done 3 weeks after injury... only 1 k-wire across the DIP joint 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 as if my cracking a knuckle. lag is not too much but grip and strength of the pinky are impaired... very expensive lesson to take health issues seriously and act immediately...
