Care Details

At Potter Plastic Surgery & Med Spa, we specialize in Flexor Tendon Repair to restore movement, strength, and functionality to the hand following injuries or ruptures to the flexor tendons. These tendons are essential for bending the fingers and thumb, and damage to them can significantly impact your ability to perform everyday tasks. Our skilled team provides precise, patient-focused care to ensure a successful recovery and optimal results. Flexor Tendon Repair is ideal for individuals experiencing limited finger or thumb movement, pain, or deformities caused by tendon lacerations or trauma. This procedure reconnects the torn tendon ends, restoring proper function and preventing permanent stiffness or weakness in the hand. Many patients find this treatment life-changing as it allows them to regain independence and confidence in their daily activities. The procedure is performed under general or regional anesthesia, depending on the injury’s complexity, and typically takes 90 to 120 minutes. During surgery, the surgeon carefully locates and repairs the torn tendon using precise sutures to restore its natural length and tension. In some cases, a tendon graft may be required if the damage is extensive. Recovery involves wearing a protective splint to immobilize the repaired tendon and prevent reinjury. Rehabilitation, including physical therapy, is essential to restore strength and mobility. Initial healing takes several weeks, but full recovery can take three to six months as the tendon regains flexibility and strength. Our team provides comprehensive aftercare instructions and closely monitors your progress to ensure successful healing. Flexor Tendon Repair at Potter Plastic Surgery & Med Spa offers a proven solution to restore hand functionality and improve your quality of life. If you’re ready to take the first step toward recovery, schedule a consultation today and let us guide you through this transformative process.
