This educational video is a wonderful service for patients to assess the severity of injury, and perhaps save them a $3,000+ ER visit. Thank you, Dr. Oller!

Unless you know for a fact you do not have ligament injury DO NOT SPLINT IT!!! I had what appeared to be a minor jam or twist. A few days later not better, slightly swollen. Went to UC, she splinted my index finger. Less than 24hours later I awoke to huge, malshapen finger in extreme pain. While I had no laxity in joint the tendon was injured. Apparently it had dislocated and popped right back. Immobilizing was the worst possible thing according to an excellent hand specialist. It should have been buddy taped. I am a groomer and need my hands for work. It took 6 months of physical therapy and limited work to undo the damage. Fortunately it was a work injury so WC paid some difference in income. 6 years later i know it was injured. Not painful, but definitely not perfect.

Thank you for this video! I had a similar finger injury and was wondering what a doctor would say about it. As it turns out I made the right guess (used basically the same criteria he just showed) and let it heal itself. It's almost back to completely normal and has steadily improved over the past few months.

I was shoving a log in the fireplace and jammed my finger on a metal piece inside. Immediate pain and my whole middle long finger was back/blue & swollen. I could bend it, so I thought it was OK. But now from the joint of my finger all the way to the top is not straight and is twisted. The bottom of my finger is still slightly swollen compared to the other hand. This happened 10mos ago. I couldn't use my finger for a long time. I did splint it, but, still wished I went to the ER and had it x-rayed. I think it was broken and my finger is now visibly tilted to one side. Good info!

My 14 year old son and I went to the ER for the same thing. Just a day short. They did an x-ray and taped his fingers but his entire finger is almost black.

I stepped in a hole and a gust of gravity pulled me down. I’m left with the tip of my left ring finger that broke when the ligament popped. Permanent mallet finger……

Do you realize your first sentence in the description is “I am NOT a medical professional”? However, you state you are throughout your videos. So, do your descriptions need to be corrected or did we miss something from you? Where are you licensed (which states) and what is your license title? (m.D. or D.O? Or P.A.).

What if you still have a lot of pain months after the injury? I was moving a pallet back in October(2023), and felt a pop in my index finger. I thought it was just the knuckle popping sharply, but later it swelled up and became very painful. I’m pretty sure something happened with the collateral ligament at the metacarpophalangeal joint. I’m just not sure why it hasn’t healed by now.

What is the expected recovery time? I injured three fingers and from experience learned much of what you shared. That said it has been nearly eight weeks and the fingers are still sore when impacted latterly.

I just injured my ring finger yesterday, and it is so painful. My finger is very stiff, bruised, and swollen. I can't seem to bend it down it's too painful. Is it too soon to try to force it down so it doesn't get too stiff or use splint for now?
