The smart money, courtesy of a leaflet supplied by rumfuddle is the charmingly named "mallet finger", which means a splint for 6 weeks 24/7 followed by a further 6 weeks during the night.

This suggests that bionics and other cool stuff are out of the picture.

Bum.

Wot?? Your bum has to go in a splint too? Now there's a scary thought.

Seriously though have you had your finger checked out yet? I'm sure being an octopus has it's advantages (ask Mr Boroshan about that) but a working finger is probably more useful for a human bean. Take care.

I dunno about that

Maybe not quite six million dollars worth, but time was I'd have paid serious money for that.

Hey, lots of superpowers can fit into (and spring from) a mere pointy digit. Deadly laser beams, sudden cone-shaped force fields, buttery/jammy smears, to name but a few.

I've been wearing a metal splint on mine when driving, and any other time I deem it necessary. The digit gets jolly stiff, but it's not as inconvenient as you might think, and limbers up within a minute or two when the splint is removed.
