Mallet Finger: What You Need to Know✋

A mallet finger can happen when the tip of your finger is suddenly struck (often in ball sports). This can cause either:
Tendon injury (tendinous mallet)
Small bone fracture (bony mallet)

Why splinting matters:
For a bony mallet, an x-ray with the splint on confirms the bone is in the right place. Splints are usually worn for 6 weeks until healing is seen.
For a tendinous mallet, the fingertip must be held straight in a splint for 8 weeks, without letting it bend, even briefly.

What to expect:
Some people may notice a small bump or slight loss of fingertip extension, but function usually returns.
With the right treatment, most patients get back to normal activity.

Hand therapists are here to help. We provide custom splints, regular monitoring, and expert guidance to support your recovery.

Our therapists carefully monitor your progress after hand injury or surgery.

We assess:
• Range of motion
• Grip and pinch strength
• Swelling and scar healing
• Your individual functional goals

Our skilled team uses this information to adapt your treatment plan, ensuring you continue moving forward in your recovery. Progress tracking also helps you see the improvements you’ve made and keeps your goals within reach.

My 5 year old really put his body on the line for Hand Therapy Week 2022 by falling off his bike last week! Luckily the X-ray was all clear and he went back to rugby a few days later!
