“How do I recover from finger surgery?”

The recovery after finger surgery depends on several factors. The nature of the injury or problem is the most significant determinant of the outcome followed by the compliance with therapy (diligent therapy but not overdoing it) and lastly the quality of the procedure performed. I typically tell people it's 40% what I do at surgery and 60% what they do in therapy that gets them the best possible result.

Be sure you have a qualified hand therapist - typically they will have a Certificate in Hand Therapy in addition to being an Occupational Therapist.

That’s a great question for your surgeon! It depends on what surgery you are having and how extensive it is.
Good luck!
