hi, thank you for brief history of you. A thorough neuromuscular and musculoskeletal assessment is advised. After reading your history I am able to understand that the surgeon is planning for a Tendon transplant operation. I feel you should go now itself , as when the injury persists longer the rehabilitation takes longer to regain the movement. Also to understand that the early the better. Usually surgery is not recommended if injury is small and limitig the functional activities. But in case if does, it s better to get it done sooner. As tendons do no heal on its own and the movement don t come back. Also to understand that after the Tendon transplant operation you need to do a serious rehabilitation of the hand, as hand is a complex system to understand and rehabilitate, the time of recovery totally depends from individual to individual. In my personal experience we advice to take immediate steps. as the recover is early. when the case becomes chronic , the recovery is delayed and prolongs longer. which leads to irritation in patient and withdrawal of rehabilitation . regards Jay Indravadan Patel
