Why does my hand look small after finger surgery?

Recently one of my fingers was cut off due to a bike accident. I have undergone plastic surgery on the finger and an iron wire has been stuck on it, but why does my hand look small?

It is common to see that a hand looks smaller because of the swelling and the other tissues that are nearby. Muscles may also shrink. As the healing time goes by, this can improve and the hand may return to its normal size. You can help speed up the recovery process if you try such movements and undergo physical therapy. Keep physical activity within the limits of your orthopedist's advice.

I fractured my humorous up next to my shoulder and now my wrist and hand are swollen and badly bruised. My concern to s blood poisoning

Male | 63

You might be seeking information on sepsis, which is also known as blood poisoning. The issue of swelling and contusions is not only at the site of the fracture but may also occur in the forearm and hand. Although it may be alarming, it's usually not a symptom of blood poisoning. In case your health condition is deteriorating and you're fighting such symptoms as fever, tachycardia, and disorientation, you should not waste time seeking a medical consultation. Please also remember to keep your arm above the level of your heart and put the ice on the place to keep the swelling down.

my toe nail got ripped off im using bandage on it should i avoid bandage to leave it open ?

Male | 20

A toenail injury sounds unple­asant. Ripping off a nail may lead to pain and bleeding. Bandaging he­lps keep the are­a clean, or leaving it uncovere­d if bleeding is minimal. Cleanline­ss prevents infection. Howe­ver, if severe­ pain, redness, or swelling occurs, se­eking medical attention is wise­.
