What to Expect Before, During, and After Hand and Wrist Surgery?
Knowing what happens at each stage of hand or wrist surgery can help you feel prepared and more at ease. Here’s what you can expect:
Before Surgery
You will have a consultation with your surgeon to discuss your condition, treatment options, and the risks and benefits of surgery. You may need imaging tests such as X-rays or scans. You will also receive instructions on preparing for surgery, including fasting or stopping certain medications.
During Surgery
Surgery is usually performed under local or general anaesthetic, depending on the complexity of the procedure. The surgeon will repair or reconstruct the affected bones, tendons, ligaments, or nerves to restore function and reduce pain. The length of the procedure varies based on the type of surgery.
After Surgery
Recovery may involve wearing a splint or cast and following a physiotherapy programme to regain movement and strength. Pain and swelling are common initially but can be managed with medication. Your surgeon will provide guidance on wound care, exercises, and follow-up appointments to monitor your progress.
