Dr. Rohde discusses the postoperative carpal tunnel release surgery instructions she gives patients.
Dr. Rohde:
One of the things I’ve learned is that it’s very hard to keep a dressing nice and clean and dry and not take it off for any period of time. And so, you know, I’ve, I’ve become a little more forward thinking about letting people take down their dressing and actually wash their hand even with their suture, with their suture still in. I, I learned how to adapt a little bit in that wearing a splint over can help compensate for that change in anatomy in order to do certain daily activities. So those, those are probably the biggies.
