Did mine Christmas Eve, got the strength back but can't bend finger fully, but not far off now. Hand therapy balls are good for getting strength back. Soaking in hot water helps as well if finger feeling stiff.

"I was pushed as I was about to catch a football two years ago, it hit my pinky and dislocated the second joint. I popped it back in place under the guidance of my gym teacher, iced it, went to the nurse, got it taped to my ring finger with some guaze in between to give a bit of a cusion. took about 3 weeks to settle down and not be as painful.
my BIGGEST TIP that I can give to you is this: As SOON as you can start moving your joint again, start stretching your finger tendon gently. scar tissue heals much tighter than regular tissue, and it can restrict your movement.
hold your hand in a bit-bigger-than-lose-fist. so, half open, and half closed. now take a look at one of your joints on your hand, see how its bent a bit? It will stay like that (at a similar angle after healing) if you do not stretch out the joint regularly to restore normal flexability. I have a slight (only 5 or so degree) reduction in my flexability in my pinky because i was not quite as dilligent as I should have been in recovery. Dont make my mistake, you can come out PERFECT from this if you keep it flexible."
