A member asked:

Also how long does it take for me to get good motion in my finger after tendon reconstruction?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: If you have undergone physical therapy i would advise you to see your surgeon, usually it's 6-8 weeks can be a few months if it was a severe tendon repair.
