Where the fracture is will be the main thing that determines how fast he will return. It can be in the upper finger bone, or lower finger bone and heal at the same rate. But more muscles from the "meaty" part of your palm attach to the lower finger bone than the upper....meaning the lower bone has more to do with grip. I havent heard (and doubt we will hear) which bone was fractured and how badly. The fact that he does not need surgery is big. It means the fracture is not affecting the stability of the joint and doesnt require pins inserted to stabilize. But with proper nutrition and the use of bone stimulators, the crack should heal relatively quickly. Now its just the matter of how long, and how it affects his grip.
