I sliced the tendon in my middle finger just above the knuckle on my right hand, it did not completely sever, but I still had to go to therapy.
I had a full hand brace and was suppose to go to therapy for 6 weeks, after 2 sessions I got bored and didn’t go to anymore and then I took the hand brace off and taped my finger to my other fingers. I had no issues other then a few years later it got somewhat infected and I had a lump and with the scar tissue gave me a nasty looking scar, which I had cleaned out about 6 years ago, so it’s now just a scar.
The therapy was a lot of simple one handed task, and anything I could do with just the middle finger and thumb, tearing clay, rolling it in a ball, some muscle builders etc.
I would guess since yours was severed you will have at least 6 - 8 weeks of therapy.
Which tendons and how did it happen, you were just standing there and it fell on you?
