Answer:
Fractures of the fingers are often fixed using pins surgically placed into the bone(s) and then you are put in a splint. Healing time ranges between 4-8 wks depending on type and severity of break.
Fingers are usually splintd not casted. Depends how much immobility is needed. Usually not a cast though.
