Ive got the finger in a splint I guess you would call it, for 2 to 3 weeks. It keeps the finger bent, and I cant move it. It sucks, but im just glad its not my writing hand.
I searched Wikipedia for 'jammed finger' and that's the description that first came up, under something called 'mallet finger'. As far as I know I've never gotten a jam so bad that it tore the ligament.... ouch.
