Just had surgery yesterday. No surprises and no pain. Now comes removal of bandage and therapy on Friday. Little finger left hand was at 90 degrees. Surgery took about two hours. Fastest two hours of my life.

Just got bandages off three days after surgery. Hand therapist gave me set of exercises which seem very difficult. I know I have to do them (and will), but little finger sure seems stiff. Never had any pain that a couple of Advil couldn't fix.

58 year old male had surgery 15th March on right hand little,ring ,middle finger,stitches taken out 10 days after,healing process going OK except right in middle of palm where point of large skin flap triangle cut not sitting flush .last two stitches down about 4mm either side of point.
Had operation done in Perth Capitol City 1800km away , returned home 5 days after . Local Nurse at hospital removed stitches. just relied on splint and palm plastic pad for scar tissue management to maintain pressure after that. In hindsight I think this was not enough to prevent the problem of raised point ,should have been advised to put some form of butterfly closure or adhesive skin repair tape that creates equal pressure on both surfaces for even flat healing join. Have to see Orthopaediatric Surgeon in a weeks time about this problem,may have to operate again to correct.Other than that fingers still stiff and swollen working hard on rehabilitation excercises.
