Get a second opinion from an expert hand surgeon (orthopedics), as the restricted movement can probably be resolved with additional surgery.

Best to see a hand surgeon. After suspension plasty, graft can be extruded, thumb base can be unstable etc. You should have a complete exam inculding x-rays by a hand surgeon to get more information.
