Post wrist centralization surgery and the k-wire is removed.when or can the hand keep straight without splint support?

Ask your surgeon: This should be directed to the surgeon who repaired the hand. Follow the restrictions, as jumping the gun could reinjure the hand or prolong full recovery. Good luck.
