A member asked:
I cut my finger fairly deep on the top crease but i can still move the portion of it i cut fairly well, could i still need surgery on the tendon?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Flexion/extension.: If you can both flex and extend the finger, then in all liklihood there is no need for tendon surgery; however, if unavle to fully flex and extend, consult a hand surgeon asap.
