Aim:
The purpose of the study is to learn more about how a person recovers after treatment for mallet finger injury. The investigators want to identify the best outcome after mallet finger injury and how to improve treatment strategies.
Primary null hypothesis:
There are no statistically significant factors associated with extensor lag between 4 weeks and 4 months after immobilization is discontinued for a mallet finger among demographic, injury, and treatment factors.
Secondary null hypothesis:
There are no statistically significant factors associated with PROMIS upper extremity function between 4 weeks and 4 months after completion of immobilization for a mallet finger among demographic, psychological, injury, and treatment factors.
