Without knowing the exact nature of your injury, it might actually be of benefit? It may force you to think and adapt. Giving your massage something different and unique?
I have heard of therapists that are totally blind. I would personally find it much easier to go through massage school with a dislocated finger, then to go through massage school blind.
I've injured my hands and fingers in the past a few times. Painful. I adapted ,found new ways Of doing things, and learned how to heal myself.
I'd go for it.

You dislocated your finger before starting massage training. What if it happened half-way through school, after graduation or 5 years into your career? How would you approach your injury in those situations.

Last year, I broke my ankle. I took a few weeks off for the non-weight bearing period, but returned to work as soon as I could stand on two feet. Over 10 years, I have also broken a finger, lacerated fingers, suffered through poison ivy and Lyme disease, and had numerous other ailments, yet continued to work. We adapt. In reality, our hands connect with the client, but most of the work comes from our core. A good lesson to learn sooner than later.

Yes, it may be initially difficult to practice some massage strokes, but you may also develop a better knowledge of anatomy with slower, more focused work. Good luck with your decision. 

Thank you!
