Answers:

A fracture in a finger heals in approximately three weeks.

In the meantime, the physician may take additional x-rays to check whether the bone is fusing together properly.
When the doctor removes the splint, physical therapy will be prescribed to restore range of motion and flexibility.
The exercises also help eliminate the discomfort caused by inflammation and stiffness.
