Mallet Fracture

Mallet finger is a type of injury to the finger where the extensor tendon, which helps extend the end joint of the finger, is torn or damaged. This can happen when the finger is hit or bent in an unnatural direction, causing the tendon to separate from the bone. Symptoms of a mallet finger include pain, swelling, and difficulty straightening the end joint of the finger. Treatment typically involves immobilization of the finger in a splint to allow the tendon to heal, and physical therapy to regain range of motion. In severe cases, surgery may be required.
