The movie’s screenwriter David Seidler, asked the widow of King George VI’s, the Queen’s Mother, permission to shoot the movie. But she asked him to wait until her death, as the memories would be too painful. By respecting her wishes, David became the oldest person, at 73, to win the Best Original Screenplay Academy Award, for this movie.
And just nine weeks before shooting, a box belonging to the real King’s therapist, Lionel Logue was found, with his notes from the therapy sessions. One of the final comments between the characters of Logue and King George VI was actually taken directly from there: “You still stammered on the ’W’.” Lionel said to the King. To which he responded: “Well, I had to throw in a few so they knew it was me.”

Hosea,
I can forgive a little anatomy confusion... but tendons are attached to the joints, and it's not hard to imagine them tearing near the joint.
