ilar to the outer layer of bologna! Lol yup bologna is what the nurse said
I had this surgery done a few years ago..made a big difference for me. I was wearing ugly hard braces on my hands for years and the time finally came... I did have my right hand done first and as it turns out I use the left so much less now that I don't have to even wear the brace on the left now. I fell and broke my hand on the small finger side while it was in the cast(first time my hand doc ever saw that!!) so it took more therapy after but it was worth it.
