What Causes Blisters On Fingers After Plating For A Broken Wrist?

I broke my wrist last week, and after a manipulation in A&E, and an operation yesterday for a fixing plate, I now have lots of small blisters on my fingers on that hand. Are these because of the break, the medication, or operation? and how long before they go?

Hi,

Kindly show these blisters to the surgeon who had operated on you. Do not delay. It indicates poor blood to the finger. It could be due to tight plaster or surgery.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
