There is possibility of ulnar collateral ligament injury at base of thumb. You may need x ray or MRI. Some nutrients which are important for recovery after surgery include vitamin C, folic acid, calcium, vitamin D, VIT B12.so supplements of these nutrients will lead to early recovery.
So diet for early recovery includes eating fresh fruits and fruit juices, green salads and vegetables.
