Had surg. nov. 10 for a zone 2 flexor tendon injury to my right pinky. unbeknownst to me and without my prior consent, the dr. removed the flexor digitorum superficialis. with pt and time, will the other tendons eventually compensate for this?

Probably, but you still might be somewhat compromised. As for performing procedures without your knowledge or consent, it is best to ask the provider Physician/Specialist about your concerns.
