Flexor tendon injury

[Walter Sobchak]

I can't bend my little finger on my right hand all the way down after it got cut, it hasn't bothered me that much and I can just about get it to bend all the way in if I move all my other fingers at once, but when I do I get a dull ache in my little finger and there is a kind of hard bump over where the cut was originally, the trouble is, the cut is many people years old so I wondered if anyone knew if tendon repair was even still possible after so much time has passed?.

You need to be examined by a hand surgeon

So many possibilities and none are suited to Internet consultation.

8 tendons to the fingers, some missing in some people, late repair, tendon transfers, vinculae, etc
