Coker Kyle W, MD

Dr. Coker attempted to repair a jammed finger. It was a difficult case, as I did not realize it was broken for almost a month. After the first surgery, all the pins came out. I questions whether this was due to physical therapy exercises I was instructed to do after surgery. The physical therapist I was worked with was not very experienced. For the second surgery, more pins were inserted to secure the finger. Some of the physical therapy exercises were eliminated after the second surgery. After the second surgery, I asked about an unusual bump on my finger. I was told that it was normal. I wish I had listened to my gut, because my finger became infected and a procedure was performed to remove all the pins.
Recently, I had an infection the finger again. This was due to a suture left in the finger from one of the prior surgeries or procedures.
l will need a third surgery to repair/​fuse the finger.
