I'll try to be brief... broke my non-dominant left hand pinky finger at the very tip, furtherest joint. technically called an avulsion fracture or jersey finger. tendon tore off a tiny fragment of the bone. i had surgery 3 weeks ago and screws did not hold. leaving me back to original situation which is i can not bend the very tip of my finger because the tendon has broken off but still attached to the fragment of bone now "floating."

i got a 2nd opinion -- new surgeon said i could do nothing and not have that joint moving again. or go through another surgery, baby it for 3 mo's, hope all turns out well.

i love asking my mx community orthopedic questions cause God knows we've been through it. unlike most of our surgeons that have never broken a bone...

anyone not have movement in their pinky tip joint...?

i can follow up with some x-rays.

thanks much...!
