What Is The Recovery Period Post Surgery On Little Finger?
hello - I broke my pinky on Dec 3rd on vacation in Mexico. They reset it and put it in a cast on Dec. 3rd. When I got back home Dec. 17th, my Dr. ordered an exray which showed the finger had popped out of it s joint - but he kept me in a cast until end of March at which time I went to see a surgeon. She would not perform surgery as my finger was too weak. I ve been going to physio for 12 weeks and we are ready to schedule surgery. I know it s different for each person, but how long is recovery time after this type of surgery? My work is asking me and I have NO idea how long - 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 2 months???? email is YYYY@YYYY

that's very difficult to say, because I don't understand which kind of surgery they are performing. recovery for finger surgery takes generally from 15 to 40 days depending on injury and surgery
