Importance of Specialised Hand Surgery

The hand is a complex organ requiring fine coordination of bones joints tendons nerves vessels and skin Injuries from machinery glass road accidents or crush incidents can disrupt these structures and severely impact daily activities and livelihood Specialised hand surgery and microsurgery aim to restore form and more importantly function as fully as possible

Types of Hand Injuries Treated

Common problems include tendon cuts that prevent finger bending or straightening nerve injuries causing numbness or weakness fractures and joint dislocations skin and soft tissue loss fingertip amputations and complex crush or avulsion injuries Reconstructive work also addresses chronic problems such as non healing fractures stiff joints nerve compression and deformities following older injuries

Microsurgery and Reconstruction

Microsurgical techniques use an operating microscope to repair small arteries veins and nerves or to transfer tissue from other parts of the body as free flaps when local coverage is not sufficient Replantation of severed fingers or hands nerve grafting tendon transfers and joint reconstruction can all be part of a tailored plan The aim is to preserve length stability sensibility and motion as far as possible

Rehabilitation and Outcomes

Early and ongoing hand therapy is essential after surgery to prevent stiffness maintain joint mobility and retrain fine motor skills Splints exercises and gradual strengthening programmes are adjusted as healing progresses While not every injured hand can be restored to normal coordinated surgery and therapy often allow patients to regain independence in self care work tasks and hobbies
