how does a cut finger get resewn back on with full functionality?
In: Biology
Hey this is something I have experience with. Last October I cut three fingers and my thumb on my right hand carving a pumpkin when the handle of the knife I was using broke. My pointer finger took the brunt of the damage. I cut the artery, nerve, two tendons, and went about halfway thru the joint in my pointer. I got one tendon in my middle finger too. They called it a zone 2 flexor tendon repair.
I had surgery to reattach everything 2 days later. Then months of rehab to regain motion. I have about 95% range of motion back now and almost full feeling (it feels like touching stuff with a latex glove on.) I am still dealing with some swelling so I have to keep compression bandages on but am pretty happy with the way it all turned out. I’ve got some pics I can post later if there is interest.
