Cuts and injuries to the hand can damage the tendons that move your fingers or the nerves that give them feeling. Early repair by a hand surgeon gives the best chance of a good recovery.
Cuts to the hand can damage the tendons that move your fingers and the nerves that give them feeling. Early repair by a hand surgeon gives the best chance of a good recovery.
Tendons join muscles to bones, so you can bend and straighten your fingers. Nerves carry feeling and control the small muscles of the hand.
Both lie close to the skin, so even a small cut from glass, a knife or machinery can damage them. A cut tendon or nerve doesn’t heal on its own and usually needs surgery.
Press firmly on the wound with a clean cloth and keep the hand raised. For heavy bleeding, go to Bajwa Hospital Emergency or call Rescue 1122.

Best results when it is done early.
The cut ends of the tendon are stitched back together.
Nerves are repaired under magnification.
Therapy starts to bring back movement and use.
Nerves recover slowly, and full feeling can take many months to return.
