Reparación del nervio digital del pulgar
Advances in medical technology have led to the development of digital nerve repair procedures that can restore these functions. The procedure involves suturing the damaged ends of the nerve together using microsurgical techniques, often requiring magnifying devices and specialized instruments.
The success rate of digital nerve repair is highly dependent on factors such as the extent of damage, timing of surgery, and patient compliance during recovery. During recovery, patients may undergo physical therapy to aid in regaining strength and function. Early diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention by a skilled surgeon are critical for successful outcomes when it comes to treating digital nerve injuries in the thumb region.
¿Cuando es necesario este procedimiento?
Digital nerve repair is necessary when there is a traumatic injury to the thumb or surrounding area that disrupts nerve function. This includes injuries such as cutting, crushing, or piercing the thumb. It is very important to get medical attention promptly as holding off on treatment can lead to permanent injury.
If the injury is severe, conservative treatments are likely not an option. However, you can use pain management methods including ice packs or pain medication leading up to the procedure to manage your pain. You should consult with an orthopedic surgeon to see if digital nerve repair of the thumb is necessary. They can run diagnostic tests to ensure there is not a less invasive option.

Preparación para el procedimiento
During a digital nerve repair of the thumb, patients will be placed under local anesthesia. The orthopedic surgeon will carefully make an incision near the damaged nerve and examine it under a microscope. The damaged ends are then trimmed to remove any scar tissue or distortion before they are reconnected using sutures or microsurgical techniques. A nerve conduit may also be used to bridge any gaps that cannot be sutured directly.
During the recovery phase, patients may need to wear a cast or splint to immobilize the area and promote healing. It will typically take between 3-4 weeks for the site to heal. During this period, patients should ensure to follow their orthopedic surgeon’s instructions. Full recovery may take several months, sometimes more than a year, depending on the extent of nerve damage and individual healing factors. Successful digital nerve repair can restore sensation in the affected area, enabling patients to resume normal activities and regain functional use of their hands.
