How long does it take to recover from thumb dysplasia surgery? It depends on the type of thumb your child has

Many parents are very concerned about how long it takes to recover from thumb dysplasia surgery. Generally speaking, for children with Type 1 and Type 2, his recovery time is shorter, and he usually begins to gradually regain its function about 6 weeks after surgery. For Type 3 and Type 4 children, the recovery period varies due to the different surgical approaches. Because the metacarpal bone has to be reconstructed, from the grafting of the metacarpal bone to its survival, all the way to the second stage of the surgery, and then to the functional rehabilitation exercises, the postoperative recovery usually extends for about a year to a year and a half. For a child with type 5, a bunionization procedure can be performed, and functional exercises usually begin in about a month and a half, with a better recovery of thumb function in about three months.
