What is hand surgery:
After performing a physical examination and reviewing your medical history, you will be asked for the necessary tests to assess your case, mainly because it is required to analyze all hand structures, such as bones, tendons, nerves, ligaments, etc. Depending on your situation, your doctor will define the type of anesthesia, local or general.
Potential risks:
- Infections.
- Clots.
- Loss of sensation or movement of the hand or fingers.
Recovery after hand surgery depends a lot on the type of surgery you had. Being a very important and sensitive part of the body, you can have mild to severe pain. Therefore, your orthopedist, in addition to providing you with painkillers and anti-inflammatories, will recommend physiotherapy, chromotherapy, and exercises to regain mobility.
