YOUR JOURNEY

Consultation

If a finger feels numb, tingly, or strangely disconnected after an injury, nerve repair conversations can feel scary—so we keep this visit grounded in what you are noticing day to day. Our team maps sensation changes, examines the digit in the office during that visit, and explains what repair can improve and what timelines for recovery tend to look like. Dr. Potter discusses realistic expectations for feeling returning, because nerves heal with patience, not promises.

The procedure

Digital nerve repair is meticulous work: the injured nerve ends are prepared and reconnected with techniques chosen for the zone and tissue quality, then protected so the repair can heal without tension. Dr. Potter balances magnification-level precision with gentle handling of surrounding soft tissue, because long-term glide and comfort matter as much as the stitch itself.

Recovery

Recovery includes protection, splinting when appropriate, and guidance on what tingling or zingers may mean as the nerve wakes up. You will know what activity limits protect the repair, when therapy helps, and what signs should prompt a call. Our team stays available while your hand returns to being quietly trustworthy again.

Restorative Precision

Dr. Potter approaches digital nerve repair with hand-specialty discipline: careful exposure, clean nerve ends, and a tension-free repair construct appropriate to the injury pattern—protecting tendons and pulleys while supporting recovery.

Clinical Indicators

This pathway is for patients with digital nerve injuries that affect sensation, fine dexterity, or quality of life after laceration or trauma—when timely repair can support the best chance of meaningful sensory recovery.

Comprehensive Recovery & Refinement

Once healing allows, many patients appreciate gentle skin support on the hand—often Morpheus8 or Laser PhotoFacial when timing is appropriate for sun-exposed areas, Signature Facial for overall skin comfort, and medical-grade moisturizers from our Product Hub for scar-friendly home care.
