A member asked:
What post-operative care do you recommend after open excision of dorsal wrist ganglion once 2-week splint is removed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies : Varies somewhat based upon the size of the soft tissue dissection required; but in general we begin progressive range of motion exercises to reduce the likelihood of developing a lot of stiffness postoperatively. Don't hesitate to discuss with your surgeon.
