After the surgery, it is best that you seek the help of a professional rehabilitation doctor as soon as possible on the first day after the surgery. This way, the best time for functional recovery will not be delayed. If you are not having your first surgery, but your second or third surgery, you should also go as early as possible. If it has been a long time since your surgery and your hand is still not functioning well, you should seek the help of a rehabilitation doctor even sooner. It is best for you to bring your medical records, surgical notes, x-rays, and other materials, the more detailed the better. This way, your doctor will have a full and thorough understanding of your condition so that he or she can make a proper judgment. And a detailed, specific rehabilitation plan for your injured hand will be developed. In the early post-surgical period, proper rehabilitation can help the swelling and inflammation of the injured hand to subside, reduce post-operative complications, shorten the treatment time, and maximize the return of function of the injured hand while protecting the injured tissue. In the mid to late post-surgical period, proper rehabilitation can maximize the return of function to the injured hand and address joint stiffness, pain, and swelling. Your surgeon will also select and design the most appropriate wrist and hand orthosis for you to use as an adjunct to treatment based on your specific situation. After these goals are achieved one by one, the function of your injured hand will gradually be restored to its best level. This rehabilitation process takes the least amount of time because you are not wasting time with late or mistreatment. The length of time used for rehabilitation and the final level of function that can be restored are questions that every patient is very concerned about during treatment and are more difficult to answer. The final outcome of rehabilitation depends on many factors, such as the severity of the injury, the quality of the surgery, the timing of the start of rehabilitation and the rational use of various rehabilitation measures. The most important aspect of rehabilitation is the patient’s cooperation. A patient who is proactive, understanding, and strives for rehabilitation will have a significantly better functional recovery than a patient who is depressed, doubtful, or lazy. Of course, it is not good to be too active. Some patients hate to take medicine and do not follow the plan arranged by the doctor and overdo the exercise training, resulting in adverse reactions such as swelling and pain of the limbs due to excessive exercise. In order to eliminate these adverse reactions, the doctor will have to reduce or stop the number of exercises in the plan, thus making the recovery time longer due to impatience, which is not worth the loss.
