Flexor Extensor Tendon Surgery Pune
Sancheti Hospital offers advanced flexor and extensor tendon surgeries to restore hand strength, flexibility, and function with expert orthopedic precision.
What is Flexor/Extensor Tendon Repair?
The tendons in your hand and wrist are responsible for smooth finger and thumb movement. Flexor tendons allow you to bend your fingers, while extensor tendons help straighten them. Injuries to these tendons—often caused by cuts, sports injuries, or trauma—can severely limit hand function.
Flexor tendon repair surgery and extensor tendon repair surgery are specialized procedures designed to restore tendon continuity and hand movement. The surgeon carefully repairs the torn tendon ends, sometimes using microsurgical techniques, to ensure smooth gliding and functional recovery.
Without timely surgical intervention, tendon injuries may lead to stiffness, weakness, and permanent disability.
Benefits of Flexor/Extensor Tendon Repair
- Restores finger mobility and hand function.
- Prevents long-term stiffness and deformity.
- Improves grip strength and dexterity.
- Enables patients to return to daily activities and work.
- Offers long-term functional recovery when combined with physiotherapy.
Limitations and Disadvantages
- Recovery is gradual; tendons take time to heal and regain strength.
- Risk of tendon rupture if post-operative care is not followed.
- Scar tissue formation may limit movement in some cases.
- Requires extensive rehabilitation for optimal outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the recovery time after tendon repair surgery?
Recovery usually takes 8–12 weeks. Full strength and flexibility may take up to 6 months, depending on the severity of the injury
What is the difference between flexor and extensor tendon repair surgery?
Flexor tendon repair surgery restores the tendons that bend the fingers, while extensor tendon repair surgery repairs those that straighten them.
Is physiotherapy necessary after tendon repair surgery?
Yes, physiotherapy is vital to regain movement, prevent stiffness, and strengthen the hand after surgery.
Will I regain full movement of my hand after tendon repair?
Most patients regain good function, though minor stiffness may persist. Early rehab improves outcomes significantly.
Do children with brachial plexus palsy need surgery?
Complete tendon cuts usually require surgery. Partial injuries may sometimes be treated conservatively, but surgery ensures better long-term results.
What are the risks of flexor/extensor tendon repair?
Risks include infection, stiffness, or tendon rupture. These are minimized with expert surgical care and proper rehabilitation.
When can I return to work after tendon repair surgery?
Light activities may resume in 4–6 weeks. Physically demanding work may take 3–4 months depending on recovery.
What happens if I delay tendon repair surgery?
Delaying treatment increases the risk of stiffness, poor healing, and permanent loss of function. Early surgery offers the best chance of recovery.
