Is Restricted Movement In The Thumb Post Injury Indicative Of A Broken Tendon?
I fell off my mountain bike and jammed my left thumb among other things. Now I can t raise the tip of my thumb past the last joint as far as my right thumb. If I push on the tip it can be raised the same as my right. Did I avulse the distal tendon in my left thumb?
