Accepted Answer

That is a good idea: Hands are very frequently injured, and the best results are generally obtained if the first treatment is the best treatment.

See a surgeon with specific expertise in the treatment of hand injuries(may be ortho, plastic or general.).

Question 6

i have to have surgery to repair a torn tendon in my finger. how long would this take?

Outpatient.: The surgery is probably outpatient, and should take an hour or so, depending on how much work the surgeon needs to do. The healing and rehab will take 3-4 months.

Question 7

i have a broken finger with a torn tendon. what happens during the surgery?

Accepted Answer

They get fixed!: Surgery for torn tendons and fractured bones repairs the damages.  You will probably get immobilized and need physical therapy once cleared by your surgeon.  Bones get fixed by either pins or plates and screws to hold the pieces together, allowing movement before it gets stiff.  Stitches are used to repair cut tendons, which allow scar tissue to fully heal the tendon edges.  Good luck.

Accepted Answer

Need more info: Hopefully you were treated by a hand surgeon. This kind of repair is tricky and should be done by an experienced orthopedic surgeon. My strong suggestion is if you did have a repair of the laceration and have these side effects you should return to the surgeon and following that you may need rehabilitation to try to return to normal use of your right hand.
