Given what we know about the functions of muscles and tendons in the human body, we can confirm that if not repaired correctly, Malcolm is likely to lose the ability to flex his hand and its fingers.
The anterior wrist is an important anatomical region in terms of the muscular contents it carries. This region contains an anatomical topographic element known as the Carpal tunnel. Famous for the well-known "Carpal Tunnel Syndrome", this tunnel contains the ligaments for most of the muscles that flex the palm of the hand and each of the fingers,
Though the tendons in charge of flexing the thumb are not located in this tunnel, they are also located in the anterior wrist area, which means that even this function may be lost by Malcolm if his injury is not repaired quickly. Every muscle in charge of flexing the hand and fingers are located in this region and are very likely to lose functionality with this kind of injury.
