Trauma

Hand trauma is widely prevalent in our region.  Widely varied presentation depends on the mechanism of the injury.  Services offered include digital replantation, fracture fixation and soft tissue reconstruction.

Replantation

Replantation is indicated for sharp amputation of high priority digits, such as the thumb, index or long finger.  The procedure involves approximately three to four hours of micro surgery where in digital arteries, digital veins, and digital nerves are reconstructed. Boney stabilization if achieved and tendons are repaired.  Sutures are removed in two weeks and rehabilitation begins between two and four weeks. 

Recovery time:

Hand rehabilitation is a major factor in the recovery after digital replantation and a team of highly skilled professional hand therapists are utilized to this end.
