Numbness along a finger and inability to bend the tip, with an intact superficial tendon but cut deeper tendon, indicates a cut digital nerve.

“let's say you have a little you're cutting an avocado and you poke right in there you have maybe numbness along here we know you cut the digital nerve there and this finger when you make a fist this one just stays up like that and that that tells me that there's something wrong with the tendon then I I try to isolate that say what can you bend the tip and you say oh yeah I can bend the tip but then I say and that isolates the long flexor but then I do this and you and you can't bend it then that says okay you cut the superficial one of the two tendons there”
