How painful is it to recover from a thumb radial collateral ligament reconstruction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not too bad: Well, in the spectrum of orthopedic surgery it is pretty well tolerated. It can be Done under general or regional anesthesia, splinting is typically used for approximately 6-8 weeks. I would discuss your specific case with your surgeon.
