OT: Cut extensor tendon in my middle finger... que

Posted by IHC Red on July 23, 2006 at 21:38:55 from (134.129.135.133):

I cut it about 7 weeks ago. The cut was on the top of the middle section of the middle finger and extends almost to the knuckle closest to the fingernail. I am pretty well healed up on the outside but I'm very stiff. I had a pin in it to prevent movement for 6 weeks and the pin was removed a week ago.

I'm having a little trouble getting back full movement. I am wondering if I'm expecting too much. Luckily it's on my left hand, but, being very much a hands on person, I am not adjusting well psychologically to the slight handicap.

I would be interested in hearing of anyone's similar experiences and how you've done with recovery.

I have been exercising it during the day and wearing a splint at night to straighten it out. Every morning it is stiff, but I'm able to work it out to the previous days range of movement. I can't make a fist yet, but it seems to be getting a little better. I can close it about 60%.

I'm interested if anyone has had this happen and how you've recovered.
