How long after surgery for quite severe Dupetryens to a little finger, should the patient be able to bend his finger? The finger is straight now and has had a splint. It bends with Hand Therapy but not voluntarily.

I'm not sure that this is relevant but I'll post the quote anyway (just in case it helps):

"How long you'll need to have treatment or assistance for depends on the type of surgery you've had. For example, you may need hand therapy for up to six months after more extensive procedures"
