Question 1

will i be able to play my most beloved hobbies, golf and the guitar after a proximal row carpectomy?

Accepted Answer

: Your surgeon would be best to estimate your recovery capacity based on details of the surgery. Occupational therapy will be needed following surgery to ensure at least partial recovery.

Question 2

have had carpal tunnel surgery scapunate ligament test surgery now doctor want to do proximal row carpectomy surgery what are my chances of gripping?

Accepted Answer

Fair: Function will be impaired but pain should be better after. Need thorough discussion with surgeon about time to heal and realistic outcome. Fair question is also how many has he/she done? Not super common surgery even for hand specialist.

Question 3

i still have pain after proximal row carpectamy. is this normal ? i have recently had 2 doctors that answered my ques, and they were very helpful thanks.i just have a few more the pain is very bad in the wrist on my pinky side and i feel clicking and some

Accepted Answer

Perhaps : Perhaps if you ask your doctor to take additional xrays in different positions, deviation of the wrist and gripping views in pronation and supination.

Question 4

how long is the pain suppossed to last after proximal row carpectamy? it been 2and a half months most of the wrist and hand are doing ok, but my wrist on the pinky side hurts bad and it seems like something isnt right.  my doctor says it normal but i don'

Accepted Answer

A : A prc or any reconstructive surgical procedure for the wrist may take time  before pain fully abates. There are many factors that can cause discomfort. Weakness of grip, as the tendons may time to  equilibrate and give full excursion, may be a cause of discomfort. Another may be residual weakness in the flexors or extensor of the wrist with gripping. As we grip our hands fall into a pattern of what is known as ulnar deviation ( turned a little bit towards the little finger side)
even in a normal wist you can feel the tension develop on the little finger side as you grip. Imagine you are holding a hammer and you will see what i mean. Other factors may be other areas of your wrist that are arthritic, irritation to nerves or tendons that will likely abate with time.
The time period for a wrist to return to full strength varies after prc. There are some who feel it may correlate with the time of immobilization post operatively
keep your doctor informed and ask why he or she feels it is normal. Talk to a hand therapist as well if you need help to strengthen.

Question 5

if i broke my arm (proximal humerus fracture), what is the recovery time like?

Accepted Answer

Proximal humerus: It may take 6 weeks for boney healing, depending upon the displacement of the fracture, the health of the individual, and the quality of the surrounding soft tissues.

Question 6

will i need surgery for an interstitial tear of the distal patellar tendon, measuring 1.4 cm proximal-distal by 0.5 cm medial-lateral? what is recovery like if so?

Accepted Answer

: I don't know about your particular surgical procedure, but it takes a few weeks after patella tendon surgery, in general, to walk normally and 6-12 months to be able to participate in sports.  Your orthopedic surgeon, who knows your status, is best to answer your question.

Question 7

is the recovery for surgery for a proximal humerus fracture caused by enchondroma longer or different if the tumor was removed than a regular fracture?

Accepted Answer

: Yes it may take a bit longer for part of the bone was removed with the tumor.

Question 8

i have femur fracture and knee proximal tibia, what foods should i take for full recovery of my bones ?  it's been 3 months after the surgery.

Accepted Answer

Ck your D level: I find my patients don't heal well if their Vitamin D levels are low

Question 9

what does it mean?delayed simultaneous waves, minimum amplitude, failures peristalsis in the proximal esophagus, distal and middle, git transit time 21s.

Accepted Answer

Motility disorder: This sounds like an esophageal manometry study suggestive of either diffuse esophageal spasm or a subtype of achalasia. Differentiating between the two would require knowledge of whether the lower esophageal sphincter sufficiently relaxes during swallowing. Your gastroenterologist should be able to interpret this for you. If it is achalasia (which i suspect), several treatments are available.

Question 10

i'm on propafenone 150mg three times daily for proximal afib, what is the dose of propafenone to bring me to sinus rhythm if i got the atrial fibrillation attack?

Accepted Answer

A fib: Your cardiologist determines the proper dose of propafenone to prevent paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and a heavier dose to treat the atrial fibrillation. This medication can be dangerous in elderly patients or anyone with a history of structural heart damage. Do not vary your current dose unless directed by your cardiologist. He/she may trust you to take increased doses if you can recognize a fib
