Regain range of motion with minimally invasive finger surgery
Pulley rupture recovery made easier with extension of the joint, so the pulley repair is more effective, helping patients restore grip, dexterity, and independence to move.


A pulley rupture can hold you back from activities of daily living
For patients with a pulley rupture, it doesn’t just cause pain; it can severely limit grip, control, and overall function.
Digit Widget offers a minimally invasive finger surgery option that helps to lengthen the soft tissue, relieve contracture, and restore mobility.

Reclaim your range of motion and independence to move.
A pulley rupture can create long-term challenges if not treated correctly
- Persistent finger stiffness that limits dexterity and grip-intensive activities
- Risk of further tendon damage or contracture if the injury heals improperly
- Extended downtime due to painful, restrictive treatments

Why traditional fracture treatments may not deliver lasting results

Splints and braces restrict activity and delay rehabilitation

Surgery for pulley repair takes place once the finger is straight; other methods may delay pulley repair

Limited ability to actively use the hand during healing

Recovery timelines are unpredictable and often prolonged

FAQs
Is open finger surgery always required for a pulley rupture?

Only your hand surgeon can determine if surgery is necessary. Minor pulley ruptures may heal with rest and physical therapy. But in more severe cases, surgery to repair the ruptured pulley is needed. The best treatment for any condition can only be recommended by a trained hand surgeon.
