Finger surgery: Can result in swelling but much of the time frame or duration depends upon what the survey is. A release of a tendon, a fracture, , a ganglion or tumor , a joint issue, all have different effects and within these there are many different degrees of involvement, much depends upon what the soft tissues were like before after and during surgery or injury, the age and health if the patient, and others.

Weeks to months : Swelling to the fingers is usually the last thing to go away after surgery. As your motion increases your swelling will get better.
