In this plan
Purpose, Prevention & Protection
- I understand thick cords in my palm are preventing one or more fingers from straightening.
- I confirm which fingers and joints will be treated and what correction is expected.
- I ask whether my wound will be closed, left open, or require a skin graft.
- I remove hand jewelry, arrange a ride, and change medicine only if my surgeon tells me.
