Hello Finger stiffness after injury and surgery can be physically challenging Can you Move it slightly? Is it painful? Is there swelling? Is the finger straight but cannot bend? You have to follow up with your plastic surgeron please do so Sometimes Tendon repair requires guided physiotherapy Delay in movement may causes stiffness Early mobilization is critical Wishing you a good health Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate
Need xray of middle finger. Also if there is a post surgical development of keloid it will have to be removed surgically than your finger will bend normally
Kindly consult with a nearby ayurvedic physician or MD panchkarma.
Kindly Go for X-RAY and then review back
It’s better once you contact plastic surgeon who operated you
