A member asked:
How long does it take for your finger to heal after tendon surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Months: Tendons take roughly 3-4 weeks for the initial stages of healing, the swelling takes a few more weeks to subside and the rehab for finger motion at the joints may take several more weeks. It roughly takes months for recovery. Good luck.
