What Are the Post-Operative Instructions for Wrist Fracture?
The local anesthetic can make your hand areas feel numb for 8 to 12 hours after wrist fracture surgery.
You will have a moderate amount of pain for the first 3 to 4 days. This could be adequately addressed by the oral narcotic pain medicine as prescribed when you left the day surgery suite: like Oxycodone or Vicodin.
It is normal to experience swelling after the surgery, particularly in your fingers. The surgeons use orthopedic implants in surgery of wrist such as wrist fusion plate, 2.0 mm LCP adaptation plate, condylar plate, LCP Straight plate which can be obtained by Top ortho Implants Manufacturers. Measures that are helpful to relieve in selling involve elevating the hand above your heart on some pillows and draping a plastic bag full of crushed ice over your fingers, splint, and dressing. Place a dishtowel or small hand towel over your arm and hand first thus the dressing does not get wet.
