What Is An Avulsion Fracture Of The Thumb S Recovery Time And Management?
I have a avulsion fracture (inside tendon, flexor pollicis longus) of the distal phalynx of my left thumb. I have splinted and immobilized the thumb with a fibeglass quick cast. How long should I expect recovery time and is there any risk to continuing activity?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, if this is the phalanx fracture so ideally it will take 3 to 4 four weeks for healing if every thing goes well, like no infection and no complication hope this information helps.
