I've never heard of someone have surgery for just "dislocated fingers". Maybe because it's more than one? :shrug: I've done & had no surgery.

Now I see.

I did that too but mine was a compound fracture (broken) of the pinkie with the skin all the way down to the hand from the tip. I can tell you from experience...it's painful. I played 4 weeks later with the old Neumann gloves & a splint that kept the last 2 fingers together, though my pinkie still is kinda numb & haven't gotten 100% movement back 17 yrs later.

I personally think that having 3 wounded fingers will hinder his catching ability somewhat for at least 1/2 the year

Three to five weeks, add three to get in catching shape and I'd guess he isn't back before mid-October.
