Скачать или смотреть When You Can Return to Normal Activities After Tendon Repair | Recovery Timeline Explained

Returning to normal activities after extensor tendon repair requires patience and caution to avoid reinjury. In this video, Dr. Colin Hong explains the typical recovery timeline and when it’s safe to resume daily tasks.

Most patients regain basic movement within 6–8 weeks, while full strength and fine motor control may take several months. Activities involving gripping, lifting, typing, or repetitive motion should be reintroduced gradually and always with your therapist’s guidance. High-impact activities, sports, or heavy work may require extended recovery time.

This video offers practical expectations for returning to work, everyday tasks, household activities, and recreational movements — all while protecting the healing tendon. Understanding this timeline helps you plan your recovery and avoid setbacks.
