How serious is a torn abductor?
If a patient goes on to complete tearing and detachment of the Abductor tendons, over time they may retract and lead to chronic pain and weakness resistant to conservative/nonsurgical means. In these recalcitrant cases, surgery becomes necessary to reattach the tendons to the bone.
