Loss of Flexibility after sauve kapandji
Dear Doctor,
My mother had sauve kapandji procedure around 2.5 months ago in her left wrist. However complete flexibility has still not be obtained. The main problem is that she can't clench her fist totally and her fingers are not fully flexible. However, she is having physiotherapy daily and she feels terrible pain while performing mobilization. Also sometimes hand and fingers gets stiff. Sir please suggest whether will it improve over time or any possible remedy from your side.
