Lacerated palm, cut fds 1/fpl/fcr/mdn nerve. 3.75 weeks out. in therapy, everything looks great so far but as i extend my wrist into neutral, tenodesis does not occur. is this because of tightness?

In all probability: Your hand is still recovering from trauma and that can cause some swelling that keeps the tendons from "sliding" as easy as they should. It may take up to 6 months, but as long as you are not having the tendon staying in a fixed position it should be ok.

Nerve damage: Peripheral nerves do heal but it does take time to regenerate. Occupational therapists will work on improving range of motion and reducing tendon tightness too. Discuss your progress with the surgeon who repaired your hand to obtain an assessment of your progress.
