When should I see a doctor after hand fracture surgery?

Seek urgent medical attention after your hand surgery if: 

• you have severe or worsening pain and swelling

• your hand is visibly deformed or a strange shape 

• you can’t move your hand

• you have numb, cold, bluish skin in your hand or fingers

• you have pain, heat, redness and discharge around your surgical wound 

• you have a fever or feel generally unwell
