Could Cut In Finger At Knuckle Cause Damaged Tendon?
I cut my finger at the knuckle with a razor when trying to cut a piece of fuel line on my motorcycle. The skin was previously broken due to a different incident.(I m accident prone) there didn t appear to be any extra damage at the time but since it heal it deals funny.. Could I have nicked a tendon of something? I ve had my share of cuts but none of them felt like this after they healed.. Thanks. Jordan

hi,
thank you for providing the brief history of you.
As mentioned that you had a cut, and now post healing you feel an awkward movements of the finger joints. It will be good to undergo a complete assessment and then an MRI to expose the soft tissue. Usually the tendons have grades of injury so at what grade the injury can be is unpredictable from outer surface. Also, if the grade of injury is Lower than with physical therapy you can achieve the optimum results.
my personal experience with hand injuries always taught to learn the deeper and superficial aspect of the hand. as hand is a complicated structure and Rehabilitation of hand is a most enjoyable one. With hand injuries, I have found 99% hand functionality by proper steps to rehabilitation.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if the wound not being properly healed or it is something malunion like appearance are there then it needs to be seen clinically and let the surgeon decide next, it is not advisable to do it on your own, next it may not be the way as you are thinking to cut the tendon hope this information helps.
