A friend of mine used his pinky and ring finger to open the door of his pickup truck. But it was frozen shut and he snapped the tendons (ligaments?) and that was that, he couldn't curl them shut on his hand anymore.
- bsder 5y agoWhat? Did he not go to the doctor? That's a fairly straightforward surgery to repair even though the recovery and therapy sucks. It's way easier to repair a "snap" than a "slice". However, you do have to get to the surgeon before 14 days are up because everything starts shrinking immediately. If you don't, then they have to graft a piece of vestigial tendon from your arm (apparently about 85% of people have it) to make up the length.
- formerly_proven 5y agoI really like it when they put spare parts directly into the product.
- halikular 5y agoSurely that heals after a few months? I tried opening our shower door which magnetically attracts and seals the glass doors together with my pinky, I wasn't prepared for the amount of force required to open so I got sharp pain and had problems doing anything with my finger. Luckily it only lasted a day. Reading this I didn't think it could've gone this bad.
