How Long Does It Take For Vollar Avulsion Fractured Fingers To Heal?

My daughter has three vollar avulsion fractures at the pip joint in her pinky, ring and middle fingers. She was Ina cast for two weeks and,is doing physical therapy for the past two weeks. It has been a total of five weeks since injury. Will they be healed enough to play in the district championship next week with some type of support?

Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist 's  Response
Hi,

Seeing the time duration the fracture should heal by now but it can only be confirmed on X-RAY. However to play in any game she needs good strength in her forearm and fingers or else it will lead to re injury or ligament sprain. This can be decided by her physical therapist. Also with support (finger brace or taping) it will be tough for her to perform as she needs to practice with them.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
