Hand Surgery

What can we achieve?

Discuss and plan the optimal surgical strategy and perform the surgeries needed to attain the best aesthetic and functional outcome possible.

Procedures

• Reduction and fixation of fractures and dislocations in the hand
• Repair of acute and chronic tendon injuries
• Treatment of inflammatory tendon problems
• Surgical treatment of degenerative diseases of the hand
• Surgical treatment of compressive nervous disorders of the arm and hand.

Pain: Mild to moderate

Scars

Usually, scars are limited to the area of the hand.

Depending on the procedures, it is possible that tissue transfer from other parts of the body may be needed, resulting in a scar at the donor site (usually small and concealed).

More complex cases could result in considerable defects of the donor area. The pros and cons of the procedure will be discussed with each patient to best fit each individual patient´s needs

Recovery.

Most cases are outpatient procures or require a short-stay.

Complex cases could require a longer stay at hospital

Frequently, the hand needs to be splinted for some weeks 1-6 weeks depending on the case.

Patients usually require rehabilitation for several months after procedures.
