How many stitches in thumb?!


Question: How many stitches in thumb!?
I fractured bones and tore a ligament in my right thumb, and I had it operated on 2 weeks ago!. They put a metal pin in it and closed it up with stitches!.

The number of stitches has been bothering me for 2 weeks now, because I don't know how many and I haven't been able to look and see it because I have had to keep my thumb immobilized in a cast!.

I was curious if anyone has had this kind of injury before, and how many stitches they received!.

The cut apparently goes (on the back of my thumb) from the middle down near the wrist!.

Answers:
YOu could call & ask, that may be in the operative chart!. Usually stiches are placed every 3-4 milimeters!. However, it is a suture-ers style and how much tension the wound is under!. There may be internal ones as well, so you can estimate by length of wound in milimeters and divide by 3 or 4; but exact count is impossible here!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
