How long does it take for a broken finger tendon to return to normal?

If the finger tendon is broken, if it is a mild partial rupture, it can be treated conservatively and will return to normal in about 6 weeks; if it is a severe complete rupture, it can be treated surgically and will return to normal in about 4-6 weeks after surgery. Finger tendons usually refer to the tendons of the hand. If part of the tendon of the hand is ruptured, or the degree of rupture is mild, conservative treatment may be needed, immobilized by splints or casts for about 4 weeks, and then carry out functional exercises, and the tendon can be gradually healed in about 6 weeks. If the patient’s hand tendon is completely ruptured, incision tendon anastomosis is required, and local rehabilitation and functional exercises can only be started after the immobilization is removed in about 2~3 weeks after the operation, and it usually takes about 4~6 weeks after the operation for the tendon to return to normal. It is recommended that the patient should consult the doctor in time, follow the doctor’s instructions and actively carry out functional exercises.
