YOUR JOURNEY
Consultation
When you arrive for your consultation, we focus on how the injury happened, which finger zones are involved, and what your hand needs to do for work and daily life. Our team reviews prior treatment, examines flexion and tendon glide in the office during that visit, and explains—in plain terms—what repair can improve and what timelines tend to look like. You will understand protection protocols, therapy expectations, and the recovery milestones that matter for safe tendon healing.
The procedure
Flexor tendon repair is meticulous work inside the hand: damaged tendon ends are brought together with techniques chosen for the zone of injury and tissue quality, then protected so the repair can heal without gapping or excess scarring inside the tunnel. Dr. Potter balances strong repair with gentle handling of surrounding pulleys and nerves, because long-term glide is as important as the stitch itself.
Recovery
Recovery follows protected early motion protocols your team will personalize—often with therapy partners—so tendons heal without being overstretched. Swelling, stiffness, and gradual return of flexion are normal parts of the arc, and follow-up visits adjust splinting and activity as healing allows. You will know which movements are safe, which are off-limits, and when to call if pain, color change, or loss of motion does not follow the expected course.
Restorative Precision
Dr. Potter approaches flexor tendon repair with hand-specialty discipline: precise exposure, strong repair constructs appropriate to the zone, and respect for the delicate pulley system that keeps tendons gliding. The aim is not only a healed incision, but a repair that supports smooth motion as therapy progresses.
Clinical Indicators
This surgery is for patients with flexor tendon disruption in the hand or finger—from sharp injuries, lacerations, or delayed presentation—where restored glide is required for pinch, grasp, and fine dexterity. If you cannot fully bend a digit, if you have been told a tendon is cut, or if prior care has left persistent functional limits, repair is the pathway back toward dependable hand use.
Comprehensive Recovery & Refinement
Once your team clears the incision for gentle skin support, many patients appreciate calming, office-based care that keeps the dorsal hand and wrist looking as cared-for as they feel. Options may include a light Laser PhotoFacial for overall skin tone balance on sun-exposed areas, Morpheus8 when texture needs device-based refinement, or a Signature Facial when you want hydration and polish without downtime. Medical-grade moisturizers and scar-support topicals from our Product Hub can keep home care simple and consistent between visits.
