What is a mallet finger? Mallet finger, known as drop finger or baseball finger, is an injury to the tendon that straightens the tip of your finger or thumb. Tendons attach your bones to your muscles, providing stability and motion. With injury, the tendon can tear or detach from the finger bone. In some cases you may injure your finger bone along with your tendon. If you have mallet finger, you’re unable to straighten your finger, it droops at the tip, is painful and looks bruised and swollen. Mallet finger is an injury that frequently occurs in sports such as baseball, basketball or football when you try to catch a hard ball and it hits your extended fingertip. The injury frequently affects a finger on the hand you use the most your dominant hand. Symptoms and Causes What causes a mallet finger? Mallet finger injury happens when something hard hits your extended finger or when there’s some trauma to your fingertip, like getting it caught in a door. What are the symptoms of a mallet finger? After the pain of the initial injury you may experience: Swelling. Bruising. Redness. An inability to straighten your fingertip. Tenderness. A detached fingernail. Redness under the fingernail bed. Management and Treatment Can mallet finger be fixed? Both immediate and long-term treatment is essential to healing. When you’re injured you should immediately: Wrap an ice pack in a towel and put it on your finger. Hold your finger above your heart. This can keep down the swelling and reduce the pain. Take over-the-counter pain medications, if needed. Long-term treatment involves putting your fingertip into a splint and keeping it there for a minimum of six weeks while your tendon heals. If there is a piece of bone pulled off, your healthcare provider may order another Xray after a week or two of splinting to check on the appropriate position of the bone fragment and the healing process. You’ll then wear your splint day and night for a minimum of six weeks. During this time, the splint may be carefully removed to allow for cleansing of both the splint and the finger, but you should avoid strenuous activities and sports to prevent recurrent injury.
