You need evaluation: There are many reasons why this may be stiff but it is difficult to know without x-rays and an examination to evaluate if is involves the joint, malunion, nonunion, tendon adhesions. All that may be needed is a good course of hand therapy.

Visit a doctor: You may need physical therapy to improve range of motion or sometimes surgery is needed to release scar tissue.

C Physician: I would suggest that you follow-up with a hand surgeon. Only after direct examination and possible imaging, can a good diagnosis and treatment plan be formulated. Based on your diagnosis, surgical intervention and/or physical therapy may be indicated. Best wishes.

Often: Scar tissue heals bones/tendons/and joints. Revision surgery is sometimes needed. Get aggressive hand therapy afterwards!
