What is the floating thumb resurfacing procedure

The thumb float resurfacing procedure is a surgical reconstruction of the function and shape of the thumb. Floating thumbs are usually treated with metatarsal bone graft reconstruction, which involves taking a portion of the second metacarpal bone of the hand and reconstructing the first metacarpal bone, with the entire surgery performed on the hand only. The entire procedure is performed on the hand only. The surgery will not cause discomfort to other parts of the body and will not affect the growth and development of the metacarpal bones, making it a newer method of treating floating bunions. The specific surgical plan should be determined under the guidance of a specialized physician. About two weeks after the surgery, functional recovery can be achieved through exercise, and the vast majority of patients are able to improve their function and appearance compared to the post-surgery period.
