Hello, on april 9th i stepped into a mirror an lacerated my extensor tendons toes 3&4 i already got surgery and i'm on a splint. will i walk again?

Flex-Extend...: Yes, you will walk again. I'm just trying to figure out how you managed to lacerate the tendons located on the top of you foot(extensors) and not the tendons on the bottom of your foot (flexors).
