The surgical procedure depends on the tendon injured and the level of the lesion. Often the tendon retracts and a larger surgical exposure of the original wound may be needed. Sometime the tendon can disattached from its bony insertion as well and need to be reinserted.
The surgical procedure is performer under brachial plexus anaesthesia. A period of controlled mobilization with the use of special splints that allows only certain movements follows the operation. Hand therapy plays a major role in this kind of lesions; it has the goal to minimize adhesions. Scarring of the tendon repair is a normal part of the healing process. In some cases, the scarring can make bending and straightening of the finger very difficult and a secondary surgical procedure may be necessary.
