Finger Avulsion Fracture Treatments
The finger would become fractured when a ball or similar object hits the tip. This forces the part to bend down. This kind of injury is also known as mallet finger or baseball finger. It could pull the finger’s tendon away from the bone. Another common type is jersey finger, which occurs when another player grabs your jersey and pull the finger. Compared to other parts, treatments for an avulsion fracture in the finger is a bit more complicated. You have to keep this part stable to avoid further injury, but still keep it still to avoid losing mobility. A splint might be used to keep it straight. After that, physical therapy is needed to restore function and movement of the finger. [4]
