Rehabilitation is required after finger fusion surgery.
Finger fusion surgery is indicated for serious disorders of the finger joints such as osteoarthritis, bone tumors, etc. that cause severe dysfunction and pain in the finger joints. The surgery fixes the diseased finger joints in a functional position to cure the disease and relieve the symptoms.
After finger fusion surgery, patients often suffer from swelling, decreased range of motion of the finger joints, and reduced muscle strength of the hand due to immobilization of the finger joints and trauma from the surgery, and therefore require timely rehabilitation.
Commonly used rehabilitation measures include ultrasound, centripetal massage, joint mobility training, joint release surgery, and progressive resistance muscle training.
It is recommended that patients with finger joint fusion should seek medical treatment in time and carry out scientific rehabilitation exercises under the guidance of professional doctors and therapists, so as to avoid missing the time and causing serious adverse consequences.
