Hand Movement
Flexor tendons are important tendons that help our fingers
especially our thumb to bend into the palm. Each finger has
two flexor tendons, which are the tissues that control finger
and hand movements in and thus help them to function
properly. Your flexor tendons can damage due to injuries like a
cut on your fingers, wrist, forearm or hand. Flexor tendon
injuries cause pain and also make it difficult to bend your
fingers or thumb. Injuries to these tendons still remain a
challenging condition to manage and to make sure about the
best treatment for the patient.
A person with flexor tendon injuries most often experience pain and difficulty to move his
fingers and hand. However, the most common symptoms of these injuries include not being
able to bend the finger, pain when holding something or bending the finger or swelling and
open cuts. If you suffer fromany of these symptoms then you should consult a doctor who can
offer you the best treatment after examining it. Most of the surgeons put the end of the cut
tendon together and designated stitches into it. While in the healing process active hand
movement is limited in order to prevent the tendon from‘stretching’.
Injuries to the tendons may further develop Rheumatoid Arthritis in a patient. It is a
systemic inflammatory disorder that causes chronic inflammation primarily affecting the joints.
It is described as an autoimmune disease, an illness caused when the body’s tissues are
erroneously attacked by its own immune system.Anyone can get this disease, but most often,
it is seen in women. Though it is common among middle aged and older people, children and
young adults can suffer from it. The exact cause of Rheumatoid Arthritis is not yet known,
however, the causes may include:
Genes (passedfromparent to child)
Environment
Hormones.
