depends: extend of injury acute / chronic, age of injury, and age of person if this is an acute tear without subluxation or bowstringing of the tendons then you can treat with a splint - wrist will be in neutral position if it's subluxing or bowstringing with extention of the wrist then you can try a splint and if no better then surgically suture the tear and splint. if this goes untreated then you can lose range of motion hope this helps
