Many thanks for your advice! Splint like yours applied after five days of it happening. Should make life interesting as a motorcycle trainer. Fingers crossed, so to speak.
@PhysioMSK guitar and piano. Happened on Friday night so 6 days ago. No guitar for 3 months. I can do a bit of piano but very awkward. I'm in two gigging bands. I have a splint fitted now and it feels very secure.
@@pipwatford I’m glad you’ve got quick and corrrect treatment. I know it’s awkward at the moment but hopefully you’ll be back playing in a few weeks. Musicians are one of the few groups of people who can struggle if this doesn’t heel so it’s really important that byou follow the splinting regime carefully. Best of luck.

Glad it helped. At 5 days it should heal. Hopefully 🤞
Very helpful. I'm a musician and this injury is a total disaster for me.
@@pipwatford oh dear. what instrument do you play ? How long ago was the injury ?

the anatomy helps a lot!
I’m glad it helped.
If my tendon is re attached what will the splint do for me?
❤ ALL my joints hurt 😢
Probably not a mallet finger then Wendy. Best wishes.
How to fix lag? Should i tear my tendon again to restart splint process to fix lag?
No that won’t work. If you’ve missed the window for it to heel then it will stay as it is.
@@PhysioMSK guess i have to replace my finger🥲
@@PhysioMSKcan you ha e surgery to fix this ?
