During this period, it is necessary to change the medication every day, apply anti-inflammatory drugs to prevent wound infection, and observe the wound for redness, swelling, and oozing. After 2 weeks of surgery, the incision will be basically healed without infection, and the sutures can be removed. After the stitches are removed, the patient can be discharged home to recuperate, and to avoid injuries or sprains at the site of surgery, because there is a possibility of secondary fractures at the nail holes, and 4-6 weeks of protection are needed.

If there is no infection in the wound within 1 week, the patient can be discharged early, but if the wound is slow to recover, it will take 2 weeks to be discharged.
