There are several different types of surgery that can be carried out on the hand, depending on the cause of the problem, such as injury, disease, or congenital defect. Some of the main types of hand surgery are tendon repair, nerve repairs, closed reduction and fixation, joint replacement (arthroplasty), as well as surgical drainage and/or debridement. Most of these surgeries are performed under general anesthetic, but some can be done under local anesthetic.
Depending on which type of surgery you underwent, you may need to stay in the hospital overnight. The recommended length of stay is 7 to 10 days at Lyon, but you should check with your surgeon when you can fly home. During your stay, your surgeon may schedule follow-up checkups where your condition is monitored and your stitches are removed.
In general, you should be able to return to work within a week if your job does not require extensive use of your hands, but if your job is physically demanding and you need to use your hands a lot, it can take as long as 3 to 6 months before you can resume your job. The total recovery period may take around 6 months, but this depends on which type of surgery you underwent.
After the surgery, you may need to attend a physical therapy program to strengthen your hand and bring back your range of motion using isometric exercises. Remember to begin your normal routine gradually and take it easy on your affected hand to prevent any complications. You may need to schedule an appointment with your local doctor to check your healing progress.
Hand surgery is effective and highly successful. However, just like most surgeries, it carries the risk of bleeding and infection. Other side effects and risks include incomplete healing, blood clots, and loss of feeling or movement of the fingers or hand.
Surgery is only an option if other forms of treatment are unsuccessful. If you do not want to undergo surgery, you can take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications or cortisone injections and attend physical therapy.
Before surgery, your range of motion, mobility, and productivity may be limited. After hand surgery, you should be able to do normal things again and to perform your activities efficiently.
