Hand Surgery

Hand surgery encompasses a range of reconstructive procedures aimed at restoring function, improving appearance, and relieving pain for patients with hand-related injuries or conditions. Whether due to trauma, repetitive strain, or congenital abnormalities, hand surgery can significantly improve quality of life by restoring the hand’s natural movement and function.

Revere Health’s specialists offer comprehensive hand surgery services, including tissue transfer, tendon repair, nerve repair, and joint replacement, depending on the nature and severity of the issue.

Common Types of Hand Surgery:
Tissue Transfer: For injuries that result in tissue loss, tissue from another part of the body may be transferred to restore function and appearance.
Tendon Repair: Injuries to tendons may require primary, delayed, or secondary repairs to restore movement and prevent stiffness.
Nerve Repair: Damage to nerves can affect hand sensation and function; repairing nerves can improve hand use and reduce pain.
Joint Replacement: For severe arthritis or joint damage, joint replacement can restore motion and alleviate pain in the hand.

Conditions Treated with Hand Surgery:
Trauma: Injuries such as fractures, lacerations, or crush injuries.
Arthritis: Joint deterioration that can cause pain, swelling, and stiffness.
Congenital Conditions: Birth defects affecting the hand, such as extra fingers or webbing.
Nerve Compression: Conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, where nerves are compressed, causing pain or numbness.

Benefits of Hand Surgery:
Pain Relief: Reconstructive procedures can reduce or eliminate pain caused by injury or arthritis.
Improved Functionality: Surgery can restore strength, movement, and coordination to the affected hand.
Cosmetic Improvement: Hand surgery can also enhance the appearance of the hand, especially following trauma or congenital issues.
