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.
