Cut nerve in fingertip
The proper digital nerve at the distal interphalangeal joint ( dipj) divides into 3 small branches.your scar is at ninety degree angle to these branches indicating you probably cut maybe2/3 of the branches. current literature does not recommend surgical intervention. Early in my surgical career I repaired them with OR microscope on helped about 1/2 the patients.at 3 weeks you have significant scar tissue around nerve endings and my recommendation would be occ. therapy Concentrating on desensitization and scar massage. If you form a neuroma around the nerve endings will need surgery. Only go to hand surgeon if this occurs some medications may help Neurontin or lyrica but have side effects Hoped this helped iam an orthopedic hand surgeon withCAQ READ MORE
