Saanvi Malhotra, a 28-year-old graphic designer...
Saanvi Malhotra, a 28-year-old graphic designer and avid rock climber, suffered a traumatic fall at the climbing gym six weeks ago. She felt a sudden, sharp 'pop' and intense pain in her right forearm. An MRI confirmed a complete rupture of her flexor digitorum profundus tendon to her ring finger, a common climber's injury known as 'jersey finger.' Despite initial splinting, she couldn't bend the tip of her finger, which remained stiff and weak, threatening her career and passion. Her orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Sharma, recommended surgical tendon repair to restore function and prevent permanent disability. The surgery was performed under regional anesthesia. Saanvi felt anxious but hopeful. The post-operative period involved a strict, multi-phase rehabilitation protocol starting with immobilization in a protective splint, followed by gradual, therapist-guided motion exercises. After four months of diligent physiotherapy, she regained nearly full range of motion and about 80% of her strength. Emotionally, she journeyed from fear and frustration, worrying she might never climb or draw properly again, to immense relief and determination. Seeing her finger bend again for the first time post-surgery brought tears of joy. She is now back to designing and has cautiously returned to bouldering, with a renewed appreciation for her body's resilience.
