Our hand team performs over 2,500 surgical cases each year and works closely with certified hand therapists to make sure you have the quality care you need.
HAND RECONSTRUCTION
Traumatic injuries can cause complex injuries in your hand, causing other injuries in your bones, tendons, blood vessels, nerves, and/or skin. Our hand surgeons are skilled at repairing these complex injuries, with the goal of improving how your hand moves and flexes over time.
Some injuries can be repaired in a single surgery, but other injuries will need a staged approach, or multiple surgeries. Often, multiple parts of your hand need to be repaired, requiring individualized care both during and after surgery.
After your surgery, our surgeons will work closely with your hand therapists to make sure your hand can work as well as possible after your injury.
