Hand Fracture Surgery

Fractures may take several weeks to months to heal completely. You should limit your activities even after the removal of the cast or brace so that the bone becomes solid enough to bear stress. A rehabilitation programme involving exercises and a gradual increase in activity levels to strengthen the muscles and improve the range of motion is recommended. Hand therapy is a rehabilitation technique to improve the strength and restore functional activity of the hands in patients with upper extremity injuries. It will be initiated within a few days of the injury or surgery and continued until the patient returns to normal activities. Rehabilitative hand therapy aims at minimizing swelling and managing sensitive scars whereas preventive therapy is recommended for minimizing pain, decreasing repetitive firing of sensual impulses in injured nerves, improving motion and strength, preventing or correcting injuries using specially designed splints, teaching ways to cope with pain and new techniques for performing regular activities, and ensuring complete recovery.

High school dreams and IVs

Around the time of my first surgery I was still in high school, on the verge of graduating if I aced some tests and finished some class books... but due to my surgery I'd be out of class for weeks, months even! My surgery was in January, and once it was done I would be in a cast for a good two months... in Arizona's version of "Winter." The downside to my first surgery was the pain up until my actual surgery day. I became well acquainted with pain pills and frozen bags of peas, but at the same time I was also preparing to say goodbye to my sad, sad little bed. My bed wasn't really a bed it was a fold out chair... you know fold out couches that are couches and then beds?

Take that and make it a chair... that was my bed. Before my surgery we took a trip to Ikea to get an actual bed since my drugged up self would be too wobbly to see what was up and what was down. My first night in bed I remember being weirded out by being off the ground, and this was a few days before my surgery. On the day of my surgery I remember everything until we got home. I remember getting up early, driving to the surgery center, being prepped with my gown, laying in my gurney, and then there was the lovley IV. My veins were so thirsty for fluids I had to have the anesthesiologist come and put it in since a nurse was having no luck. My the time it was in I was poked and prodded three times.

Once my IV was finally in I was wheeled into the surgery room, and I remember looking around while being told my medicine was being put in my IV. Before I knew it I was waking up to the sound of a woman calling my name. I came to and noticed my left bicep was in agony with a red line completely around my arm. I had no idea why it was there, and as the nurse returned and wheeled me off to the recovery section she said "That was there when she came out." As I woke up more I was given tiny cups of soda as my mom walked in, and after a few minutes I was being dressed one handed... one of the strange things I've learned to do one handed.

Do you want surgery or a cast?

When I went to my first hand specialist you could say it wasn't the best experience I've had with a doctor. We got to the office and the waiting room was almost as big as a high school auditorium and it was filled with a bunch of people. So we signed in on time and waited for a good hour or two, watching people go in and come out a few minutes later, and by the time I was finally called I was a moron and walked off with my X-rays sitting in the chair I sat next to; I eventually ran out and grabbed them after realizing I had forgotten them.

Once I got in to see the doctor it was immediately obvious he wasn't very concerned, much less interested in my arm. For one he spelled "Kienbock's" wrong, spelling it "K-E-I-N-B-O-C-K-S," and then once he diagnosed me he literally said "So, do you want surgery or a cast?" Like any uneducated person I chose cast, so he then walked out of the room and that was the last time I saw him. For the whole visit I had been in the office area about 10 minutes and this is basically all he said: "You have this, you want surgery or a cast?"

Needless to say once we left we knew we were never returning since we felt like cows in a cattle farm; go here, go here, go here, see actual human for a minute or two. Once we left with my shiny new black cast on my arm we began looking for other specialists, and I can't recall how we found him but we later went to see the specialist I go to now. He actually made an effort to explain things to me and I was then told I should've picked surgery when my first specialist asked. I told him he didn't bother explaining anything and he understood but my arm had begun to get worse.

Once my cast came off my arm continued getting worse and worse, to the point I couldn't leave the house I had to stay and ice my arm all day. I later found out the radius bone in my arm was pushing on my dying lunate bone... in a simple explanation: my dying bone was being severely pushed on and that bone needed to be cut to stop pushing on my lunate. Let surgery one commence on January 12, 2012!

When a simple fall changes life forever

When I was 17 and 1/2, weeks from turning 18, I was roller skating and I fell on my knees and hands, and at the time I unknowingly had just sprained my left arm. By some strange power I didn't realize I had injured myself for two weeks, and when I finally realized I did I went to the doctor and got an X-ray of my arm. After my arm was wrapped up they came back and asked "Have you ever injured your arm before?" I looked at them confused since I had only injured my right arm before, ironically while roller skating, and it was then that they told me I had a bone whiter than others in the X-ray.

I was then sent to a horrible hand specialist where I was diagnosed with Kienbock's Disease. This disease actually occurs when you're a developing baby and you end up developing all but one vein in your wrist, and once you're born it's just a matter of time before the bone with the missing vein begins dying from lack of blood supply. The disease is rare and often occurs in men instead women, but the pain it causes... you can have the biggest enemy in your life and you would never even consider wishing this pain on them.

This blog, while it's a few years late, is to show my journey from diagnoses to now, two surgeries and a missing tier of bones later.
