What is the treatment for a tear in flexor digitorum breviary?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Talk to hand surgeon: There is no medical treatment for a tear unless it heals spontaneously. Obviously avoiding further stress on the area with a splint to allow the tendon to heal (only it is a partial tear). The best approach would be to consult a hand surgeon before further damage occurs.
