Hello!

After surgery, the hand is wrapped in bandage and there is no need to change it and if you have any problem, bleeding and complications visit your operating surgeon. The stitches are removed after 10 to 14 days. If the surgeon wants to look at it then you may have been examined after 24 hours so follow the instructions of your surgeon.

You may be directed to wear a splint for several weeks.

The pain and numbness may go away right after surgery or may take several months to subside.

Try to avoid heavy use of your hand for up to 3 months.

Take care!
