How long does it generally take for complete or near-complete recovery to occur after finger flexor tendon surgery and for the patient to regain full strength and range of motion? orthopedic surgeon's pa says as long as a year. true?

True. Each patient is different and their rate of healing is affected by age, other health problems (diabetes, obesity, reinjury, etc), how strict they are in following their Physical Therapy program, and a variety of other factors. To get the best results, Make sure you are sleeping adequately, not taking drugs or alcohol, following your PT regimen and avoiding any other injuries.
