Mallet finger

2017-04-07 17:43:43
I got an immovable bent left little finger. The doctor said that the nerve responsible to make that finger straight is damaged and he told that the condition is called "mallet finger" which, cannot be rectified. He also told that micro surgery could be done but, it can't be guaranteed. Is there any way to successfully treat it.
