Answer

How can you safely get back into training after a hand operation?

After a hand operation, training should only resume once a doctor gives the go-ahead. It usually makes sense to restart slowly, with light strength work and movements that do not put too much strain on the injured area. Rushing back too soon can delay recovery and make the setback worse.
