YOUR JOURNEY
Consultation
When a hand fracture disrupts work, childcare, or simple daily confidence, this consultation is about clarity first. Our team reviews how the injury happened, what your X-rays show when available, and what you need your hand to do in the next weeks—not just what looks crooked on film. Dr. Potter explains fixation options, therapy expectations, and recovery milestones in plain language so you understand what improvement can look like and what tradeoffs exist.
The procedure
Hand fracture surgery is performed to restore alignment and stability so bones can heal in a position that supports motion and strength. Dr. Potter selects fixation techniques appropriate to fracture pattern, bone quality, and soft tissue condition—prioritizing nerve protection, joint surfaces, and tendon glide paths so function is not sacrificed for a quick radiograph win.
Recovery
Recovery is phased with splinting, protected motion when safe, and therapy partners when they strengthen outcomes. You will know what swelling and stiffness are typical, when to advance activity, and what symptoms should prompt a call. Our team stays available while grip and dexterity return in steady increments.
Restorative Precision
Dr. Potter approaches hand fracture fixation with hand-specialty discipline: stable constructs when indicated, respect for soft tissues, and planning that anticipates therapy—because a straight film only matters if your hand feels usable again.
Clinical Indicators
This pathway is for patients with hand fractures that threaten alignment, joint integrity, or reliable function—especially when non-operative care is unlikely to hold position or when delayed healing would meaningfully disrupt life and work.
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.

Care Details
At Potter Plastic Surgery & Med Spa, we provide expert Hand Fracture Surgery to restore function, alignment, and strength following traumatic injuries to the hand. This procedure addresses fractures of the fingers, metacarpals, or other hand bones, allowing patients to regain mobility and prevent long-term complications. Our skilled team is committed to ensuring a smooth recovery and optimal outcomes tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Hand Fracture Surgery is ideal for individuals with broken bones caused by accidents, sports injuries, or other trauma. This procedure corrects misalignments, stabilizes fractures, and promotes proper healing to restore the natural strength and dexterity of the hand. Many patients find relief from pain, improved functionality, and the ability to return to their daily activities after surgery. By combining surgical precision with advanced techniques, we aim to deliver results that restore both form and function. The procedure is performed under anesthesia and typically takes one to two hours, depending on the complexity and location of the fracture. Our surgeons use specialized techniques to reposition and stabilize the broken bones, often with the use of pins, screws, or plates to ensure proper alignment. Recovery involves swelling, stiffness, and mild discomfort, which are common during the initial healing period. Most patients can resume light activities within a few weeks, though full recovery, including strength and mobility restoration, may take several months. Our team provides personalized aftercare instructions and regular follow-ups to monitor healing and guide rehabilitation. Hand Fracture Surgery at Potter Plastic Surgery & Med Spa offers a comprehensive solution to restore your hand’s functionality and strength, helping you regain confidence and independence. If you’re ready to explore how this treatment can benefit you, schedule a consultation today and let us help you achieve a full recovery.
