After the operation, the fingers were fixed to keep the tendons relaxed. The skin suture was removed 2 weeks after operation, and the joints began to move slightly 3 weeks after operation, and normal functional exercise could be carried out 6 weeks later. Exercise too early will cause tendon segment separation or fracture, and exercise too late will easily lead to adhesion. It is necessary to diminish inflammation after operation. You can stop taking other drugs. You can drink more bone soup and eat nutritious food at ordinary times. Do not eat spicy and irritating food, and eat less hair such as mutton and duck.
Let's talk in detail about the functional exercise of fixing extensor tendon with plaster: the wrist joint is bent 30 degrees, the fist is clenched as much as possible, and then the metacarpophalangeal joint is stretched while maintaining the flexion of the interphalangeal joint, so as to reach the normal position as much as possible each time. Don't be afraid of pain If you can't reach it, you can help with your other hand. Don't be violent, try to be gentle and persistent. Every flexion and extension counts as one group, and 30-50 groups a day is enough in the initial stage.
If you can practice, you won't leave any sequelae. At most, the metacarpophalangeal joints are not stretched in place, which will not have much impact on your life.
