I lacerated my knuckle on my right hand above the pinky finger I had 8 stiches its been 3 weeks I can bend it make a fist with mild pain I can straighten it but not as far back as the other four fingers it has swelling for three weeks is this common and also do I have a lacerated tendon
Hello, The laceration tend healing can take up to 12 weeks. The injured tendon may need to be supported with a splint or cast to take tension off of the repaired tendon. Physical therapy or occupational therapy is usually necessary to return movement safely. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
