Will I ever be able to hit again

I am 16 years old yesterday I broke my finger and the doctor said you have boxer fracture and he did a surgery after the surgery I did X-ray and he came to me with the bad news he said it broke again and you have to do another surgery my question is I love boxing and I want to be a boxer but will I ever be able to hit again

Anonymous Patient

You should be able to hit again as long as you allow your fracture to completely heal. Usually this takes 6-8 weeks for the fracture to heal. You should refrain for any boxing for at least 3 months to give you a comfortable time for the bone to solidly heal though
