What a great positive report. Pain relief comes at the top of the list. Now comes that hard work of healing and strengthening, don't get discouraged if it takes some time. Please keep us posted on your progress as you go forward.

PS Don't forget to ice before & after therapy, or any time your hand swells as it heals!

Hello…I had the Stablyx implant 2/07/22 and after 6 months of PT, I was still unable to slide my thumb down my pinky. I had a lot of pain and no strength. Im an airline pilot, so I was unable to manipulate the thrust levers—for reverse upon landing . I just had a second surgery to clean up scar tissue and have the tendon release. I just had the stitches removed today, I could tell my Dr was a little frustrated with me as I was unable to move my thumb down the pinky …and he was able to move it full range during the surgery. My X-ray today shows a little curve in the implant….should I still be concerned about implant failure? I start PT this week. Thank you 😊
