What is mallet finger and how to splint? #sportsinjuryclinic • today I'm addressing a common yet often misunderstood sports-related injury known as mallet finger. This vexing condition typically occurs when an abrupt force, such as a ball hitting the tip of a finger, causes the extension tendon to tear or detach. Mallet finger leaves the patient unable to straighten the tip of their finger, leading to a pronounced droop akin to a hammer, or mallet, appearance. • In this educational video, we will explore the pathology of mallet finger, allowing you to understand the biological mechanisms at play within this injury. Knowledge of such conditions not only assists in recognizing symptoms but also provides clarity and alleviates concerns about unexpected physical changes. • Furthermore, I'll present the critical aspects and step-by-step process of correctly splinting a mallet finger. Splinting serves as a non-surgical intervention that allows the finger to heal by keeping it in proper alignment and providing the necessary immobilization for tendon repair. The correct application of a splint is essential to ensure optimal healing and prevent further complications, like permanent deformity or loss of function. • • About me: • Dr. Srikanth Nithyanandam, a Primary Care Sports Medicine doctor practicing in the United States.
