A member asked:

How long do stitches in the top of the thumb need to be left in? my cut was bone deep if that helps?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I would expect 10-14 days to be the norm but the area is prone to local stressors. I might remove every other stitch at the beginning of removal and wait a day or two before removing the rest.
