Finger Stiffness due to injuries - The most common and difficult problem that people have after a tendon injury is stiffness - losing the ability to either fully bend or straighten the finger - which can be permanent. This is a possible problem for anyone who has had a flexor tendon injury. Surgery and other special treatment is usually needed to make this as little a problem as possible. Most often, flexor tendons are damaged from a cut. Fingers have special creases which let the skin fold when you make a fist - at these points, the tendons are just beneath the skin, and are easily injured by even a small cut in the skin. Less often, flexor tendons may tear or be torn off the bone by a sudden pull against a strong grip, without tearing the skin.Surgery is only half the battle for this problem. Therapy is a necessary and essential treatment for most people recovering from a flexor tendon injury. Special hand therapy usually involves making one or more custom splints, performing and supervising special exercises, and making the hand feel better in general.
