A member asked:
Is it okay to have a lump forming on my hand after reconstructive surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can't say: There could be several reasons i.e. Scar, suture, muscle flap, protrusion of hardware. Tendon rupture.. I would mention it to your hand surgeon and make sure he is aware of this.
