CMC Arthroplasty with STABLYX Implant

Hello y'all. I came out of the cast a week ago today and have had two therapy sessions. The swelling isn't real bad and getting better everyday and yes, after therapy, it swells but managing it with ice and the compression glove I got from the therapist. Dr. Vo provided the x-ray of the implant and I took it to the therapist so they could see what they are to manage as they haven't seen the STABLYX Implant here in Waco. I'm 3 weeks out from surgery and I'm very happy with the results so far and already managing simple daily activities with my right hand. Not much pain now and mainly occurs with therapy but that's to be expected. I'll give another update in a few weeks.

Hi Wally, Glad to hear that you are doing well. I am almost 4 mos. post op and I finally feel good. I would say I am about 95% back to normal. I still wear the compression glove at night as well. It just makes it feel better. I wake up stiff but do a few exercises to limber it up and then I'm good for the day. Keep up the good work and look forward to you next update.

Keep up the good work - and the ice. At almost 4 months, I still use a compression glove at night - tried to skip last night and woke up very uncomfortable this AM, but am back to normal for most activities - discharged from OT last week. Formed a cyst (doc says it's not my fault) on tendon where tightrope is anchored & have to have it removed next week. Since it requires a visit to surgical center & anesthesia, I have to go the whole Covid test routine again...
