What? Did he not go to the doctor? That's a fairly straightforward surgery to repair even though the recovery and therapy sucks.

It's way easier to repair a "snap" than a "slice". However, you do have to get to the surgeon before 14 days are up because everything starts shrinking immediately. If you don't, then they have to graft a piece of vestigial tendon from your arm (apparently about 85% of people have it) to make up the length.



I really like it when they put spare parts directly into the product.
