About the Procedure
The hand is one of the most complex and functional structures in the human body. Injuries, diseases, or congenital conditions affecting the hand can significantly impact daily life. Hand reconstruction aims to restore maximum function and appearance.
Nerve Repair & Reconstruction
Damaged nerves are repaired or reconstructed using microsurgical techniques. In some cases, nerve grafts from other parts of the body may be used to bridge gaps and restore sensation and movement.
Tendon Repair
Tendon injuries are repaired surgically, with careful attention to restoring the precise tension and alignment required for normal hand function. Rehabilitation plays a crucial role in achieving optimal outcomes.
Microsurgical Replantation
In cases of traumatic amputation, microsurgery can be used to reattach severed digits or limbs, restoring blood supply, nerve function, and movement.
Recovery
Hand therapy and physiotherapy are essential components of recovery, typically beginning within days of surgery and continuing for several months to maximise functional outcomes.
