last year I ripped my left hand in half. from wrist thru little and ring finger. 160 stitches to repair. I lost the little finger knuckle at thepalm. 6 days ago underwent knuckle replacement/ rebuild. Is there a success or fail history with knuckle or severe hand repair? do fake knuckles last? I am a Heavy equip/ diesel mechanic, depending on my hands to earn a living. at 48, what could the rehab time be, and will mobility return?
Hi, hand surgery is now an advanced branch. The artificial. Joint you have been implanted with has its own limitations. Too much hard use can lead to loosening. So take care of your new joint.Also, the rehab period in your type of surgery is usually 3 weeks
