After breaking something in my little finger in a cycling accident about two years ago (not sure what: two x-rays were inconclusive), it took me a long time to regain full flexion in the affected joint. To start with, I could hardly bend the finger at all, which was annoying: I kept dropping coins!
Part of my rehabilitation was physically pushing it as far as it would go. I used stretchy tape to force it to bend. It hurt. It worked: my finger now has full movement, although it took about six months to get to that point.
The joint is wider than it was, and I still get the odd click or twinge, but I'm led to believe that that's almost unavoidable in finger joint injuries.
