A member asked:
Depending on their placement/location, could sutures on a finger laceration make it difficult to bend the finger until they are removed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes. Movement may be restricted even after removal of sutures. Once the sutures are removed, try passive movement of the affected finger and gradually increase the range of active and passive motion.
