Can see hand surgeon: Old injuries to nerves many years ago generally are not fixable. Sometimes, surgery can be done to loosen (release) tendons or muscles that have contracted after an injury. Sometimes a hand surgeon can move a tendon or two to make the hand and fingers function better. One or two visits to a hand surgeon can answer such questions.
