Arthroscopic and reconstructive upper limb surgery succeeds or fails largely on what happens in the twelve weeks afterwards. Move too early and the repair is at risk; move too late and the joint stiffens.
Practising inside the operating surgeon’s clinic means our therapists work to the protocol for the procedure that was actually performed, and can flag a problem before it becomes a second operation.
Hand therapy and occupational therapy run here alongside physiotherapy, for patients who need to get back to writing, gripping, driving and working.
