Is your Finger Bent or Deformed?

• Has it been bent since birth due to a congenital condition?

• Did it become crooked from overuse or injury?

Even fingers that have been deformed for over 50 years can be corrected with surgery.

Surgical Procedure

• Surgery is performed under brachial plexus anesthesia with sedation.

• Each finger takes 20 minutes to operate.

• We use a minimally invasive technique.

• A 2~3 day hospital stay is required.

During the procedure, a small 1.5cm incision is made on the side of the finger, and the phalangeal bone is osteotomized according to a pre-planned correction angle. The pins are used to stabilize the bone, and they can usually be removed safely 6 weeks after surgery.

Post-Operative Care

• A small finger splint is required for 4-6 weeks after surgery. 

• Pain is generally mild, and you can begin using your hand the next day. 

• If there is no wound infection, showering is allowed after 2 weeks. 

• At 6 weeks, you will return to the clinic to have the pins safely removed.

Rehabilitation

• Rehabilitation is started after pin removal; it's simple and can be done at home, focusing on daily exercises that improve joint mobility and stretching.

• Daily life takes place within a few days, and physical activities are available in 3~6 months. 

Possible Complications

This is a relatively safe surgery, but rare complications can include:
