Web Fingers & Hand
Surgery |
|
|
Major advances have recently
been made in treating patients with hand injuries or birth
defects. Surgeons are able to treat a wide variety of problems
involving a patient's hands - ranging from deformed fingers to
injured nerves and joints. |

|
Reasons To
Consider |
- You have webbed fingers or
deformed hands(s).
- You have injured joints,
nerves, blood vessels, or tendons.
- You have injuries to the
skin on your hand(s).
|
The procedure performed depends
on the type of injury or abnormality being treated. Hand
surgery is done in an outpatient surgical center, and varies
in duration depending on the procedure.
RECOVERING FROM THIS SURGERY
Since the hand is a widely used, sensitive part of the
body, you will experience some pain during recovery.
Medication will be prescribed to alleviate any discomforts you
experience. The amount of time your hand remains immobilized
depends again on the procedure performed. Therapy may be
needed to rehabilitate your hands and allow them to function
normally. It's crucial that you follow the recovery
instructions your surgeon gives you to ensure immediate
resurgence. |
