A tendon is a strong cord which joins a muscle to a bone. It enables the bone to move when the muscle contracts. There are two tendons that run on the palm side in each finger. One tendon goes to your finger tip and bends the end joint. The other goes to the middle bone and bends the first finger joint. The tendons run in a narrow tunnel. One or both of your tendons are cut. If your tendons do not get repaired, you will not be able to bend your finger.
If you leave things as they are, the tendons will not heal properly. You will lose a lot of the use of your finger.
You will have come to the hospital as an emergency. You need to let the doctors and nurses know about your general health, past illnesses, and drug treatment. Arrangements will be made for you to have the operation within 24 hours or so of the injury. You will have all the necessary tests to make sure that you are well prepared and that you can have the operation as safely as possible.
Your arm will be in a plaster cast from below the elbow to the finger tips. The wound may be painful. You will be given injections or tablets to control this. Ask for more if the pain gets worse. A general anaesthetic will make you slow, clumsy and forgetful for about 24 hours. The nurses will help you with everything you need until you are able to do things for yourself. Do not make important decisions during this time. The tendons are repaired with fine stitches. These stitches are not very strong. Too much force too early will pull the tendon ends apart. The tendons must continue to slide in their tunnel while they heal. If they stay still while they heal, the tendons stick to the walls of the tunnel and never slide again. Too little movement of the healing tendon will stop the tendon sliding in its tunnel.
The exercises that you do after your operation are a vital part of your recovery. The physiotherapist will show you what exercises to do. If your cut is only in the palm, you begin exercises on the first day after your operation. If your cut is in your finger, you begin exercises on the second day after your operation. Your stitches will be taken out when you come to the outpatient clinic 10 to 12 days after the operation. You will not need a dressing on the wound after that. You will need a plaster cast or splint on the back of your hand for about six weeks after your operation. Wash around the plaster for the first 10 days. You can wash the wound area as soon as the dressing has been removed. Soap and warm tap water are entirely adequate. Salted water is not necessary. You can shower or take a bath as often as you like. The nurses will advise about sick notes, certificates etc.
If you are experiencing one or more of these problems it could be an indication of a problem with the nerves or the blood vessels in or around the area of the operation or of an infection. In this case you need to return to the hospital urgently.
Come back to see the plaster technician if the plaster cracks ,becomes soft or is getting loose.
Recognising these signs early can help you seek timely treatment and achieve the best possible outcomes.
Chronic pain that does not respond to medication or conservative management and significantly impacts daily activities and quality of life.
Significant unintentional weight loss or gain that may indicate an underlying systemic condition requiring specialist evaluation.
Repeated episodes of infection, prolonged fever, or failure to respond to standard antibiotic therapy suggesting immune or structural issues.
Gradual inability to perform daily tasks — walking, climbing stairs, or self-care — due to advancing disease that may require surgical correction.
CT, MRI, ultrasound, or blood tests showing an abnormality — mass, lesion, or organ dysfunction — requiring specialist surgical or medical management.
Medications, physiotherapy, and lifestyle changes have not provided adequate relief. Specialist surgical opinion is now recommended as the next step.
