A member asked:

I was seen at wesley medical center in wichita kansas in the trauma room for a 2 inch nail that accidentally penetrated my right hand causing nerve damage and loss of dexterity in hand?

You do not indicate how long ago this happened, and immediate management is different from long term management. In any case you should consult a hand surgeon, which is an orthopedic or plastic surgery subspecialty. You may wish to check out doctors in Kansas City as well as in Wichita.

I hope you received a TETNUS injection. The trauma center, if you ask will refer you to the proper hand specialists for treatment.
