Hand injuries, disorders that cause degeneration and birth defects of the hands can be treated by plastic surgeons, who undergo intensive training in hand surgery. Although complications are few when hand surgery is performed by a board certified plastic surgeon, they can include - adverse reaction to the anesthesia used for the surgery, loss of feeling or motion, poor healing, infection, and the possibility of chronic pain. You can reduce your potential for complications if you follow your surgeon's post-operative instructions. The repair of tendons, blood vessels, nerves and joints are among the most common hand surgeries. Other types of surgery can include those for fractured bones, and to repair injuries to the skin such as burns and cuts. In most cases, surgery can accomplish a great deal, restoring function to injured hands, as well as feeling that previously was missing. | ||
