Broken scaphoid

2017-06-02 12:48:12
Hi :) I've had surgery on my scaphoid to repair a non union fracture. I've had a bone graft (from the hip) held in place with wire. I'm now in a cast where all my fingers are free and some of my thumb is. Obviously I'm not lifting anything with the healing arm. I'd just like to ask how much movement is advisable with the thumb? Thanks :)

Thumb is in plaster to restrict movement hence approx only 10% of original movement
