The plastic surgeons at Summit Medical Group utilize the most advanced techniques and equipment. Even in difficult cases, our surgeons can usually restore feeling, function, and a natural appearance to your hands.
Your Consultation
Your surgeon will discuss the limits and risks of hand surgery as well as your expectations and concerns. He or she will review your medical history and examine your hands, wrists, and forearms. Your surgical options will be explained to you so that you know exactly what to expect before, during, and after your procedure.
The Procedure
Hand surgery procedures vary from case to case. Your hand surgeon will explain what is required to repair your hands and achieve your goals.
Recovery and Results
The length of recovery and the results you can expect depend on the type of hand surgery required and how long you have had your condition.
After your procedure, your surgeon will give you instructions about how long your hand must be immobilized and when you can resume your daily activities. He or she also will recommend a course of physical and occupational rehabilitation with a trained hand therapist. Your hand rehabilitation therapy will ensure that you achieve the fullest possible use of your hands.
