YOUR JOURNEY
Consultation
If an injury left you unable to fully straighten a finger—or you are fighting stiffness that keeps snapping back into a bent posture—this consultation is about function first. Our team maps how the injury happened, what your hand needs for work and daily life, and what exam findings suggest about tendon integrity. Dr. Potter explains repair options, therapy expectations, and recovery milestones in plain language so you know what improvement can look like.
The procedure
Extensor tendon repair reconnects injured tendon ends with techniques chosen for the zone and tissue quality, then protects the repair so healing can advance without gapping. Dr. Potter balances strong repair with gentle handling of surrounding tissues, because smooth extension matters for typing, gripping, and all the small gestures you should not have to think about.
Recovery
Recovery follows protected motion protocols your team will personalize—often with therapy partners—so tendons heal without being overstretched. You will know what splinting feels like, when swelling improves, and what signs should prompt a call. Our team stays available while extension returns in steady increments.
Restorative Precision
Dr. Potter approaches extensor tendon repair with hand-specialty discipline: precise exposure, strong repair constructs appropriate to the injury zone, and protection of adjacent structures so glide and extension improve as therapy progresses.
Clinical Indicators
This pathway is for patients with extensor tendon injuries affecting finger extension, work tasks, or daily dexterity—when timely repair supports the best chance of reliable straightening and strength.
Comprehensive Recovery & Refinement
Once healing allows, many patients appreciate gentle skin support on the hand—often Morpheus8 or Laser PhotoFacial when timing is appropriate for sun-exposed areas, Signature Facial for overall skin comfort, and medical-grade moisturizers from our Product Hub for scar-friendly home care.
