How long does it take to recover from a hand surgery?
10 doctors weighed in across 4 answers
Hand surgery: This is a complex question. Recovery depends on the surgery and the problem. Hand fractures require approximately 6 weeks for recovery. Tendons may require longer. Also comorbidities such as diabetes, etc prolong healing time

Using this site: You get the most from this site when you provide specific detail about your health issue before asking a question.What was done ? Was it done under local for a minor issue or regional block/general for a complex deep tissue exploration ? Was an infection involved ? These factors matter when projecting recovery times. Without them nothing specific can be offered.
