A member asked:
I dislocated my thumb and it required surgery to relocate it, no muscle damage was present and only slight soft tissue damage, how long is recovery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
4 to6 weeks: It seems you had open reduction without pinning.The recovery is fast and maximum time it takes is 4to6 weeks at the most.But since we don't know what surgical procedure you had,i suggest you ask the orthopedic doctor who did the surgery how long is the recovery in your case
