I usually allow patients to perform as many reps as they want each day. Usually 3 or so times a day. Every surgeon is different and there are different ways to repair the tendon. With those variables in mind, stretches can start as early as the week after surgery.

What can i do for it SIR PLZ KINDLY REPLY SIRRR
Rehabilitation varies significantly between individual surgeons. I currently prefer to start passive motion around 7 to 10 days after surgery. Your surgeon should have a specific protocol to use for your individual case.
I had surgery, 12 weeks postoperative, I still have the reverse Popeye deformity. Will it ever come back to normal. All X-rays show the tendon is fully intact.
Usually one can better evaluate healing of the tendon with a MRI. I would continue to followup with your surgeon for discussion of your particular case.
