Board Certified Surgeons at Samra Plastic Surgery, NJ Offering Hand Surgery Procedures Undefined

Online, May 21, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Hand surgery procedures are usually performed to repair injured hands. These include injuries to the tendons, nerves, blood vessels, joints, as well as fractured bones, burns, cuts, and skin wounds. Modern techniques have greatly improved the surgeon's ability to restore function and appearance, even in severe injuries. Among the techniques now used by hand surgeons are:

* Grafting - the transfer of skin, bone, nerves, or other tissue from a healthy part of the body to the injured part

* Flap surgery - moving the skin, along with its underlying fat, blood vessels, and muscle, from a healthy part of the body to the injured site

* Replantation or transplantation - restoring amputated fingers or hands using microsurgery, an extremely precise and delicate surgery performed under magnification

According to recent statistics released by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), Reconstructive plastic surgery, which improves function and appearance to abnormal structures, increased 1 percent in 2012. Hand surgery was one among the top five reconstructive procedures with 123,000 procedures performed, up 3 percent over 2011.

Some injuries may require several operations over an extended period of time. In many cases, surgery can restore a significant degree of feeling and function to injured hands, however, recovery may take months, and a period of hand therapy will most often be needed.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
The carpal tunnel is a passageway through the wrist carrying tendons and one of the hand's major nerves. Pressure may build up within the tunnel because of disease (such as rheumatoid arthritis), injury, fluid retention during pregnancy, overuse, or repetitive motions. The resulting pressure on the nerve within the tunnel causes a tingling sensation in the hand, often accompanied by numbness, aching, and impaired hand function. This is known as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Congetinal Defects
Congenital deformities of the hand - that is, deformities a child is born with - can interfere with proper hand growth and cause significant problems in the use of the hand. Fortunately, with modern surgical techniques, most defects can be corrected at a very early age - in some cases during infancy, in others, at two or three years - allowing normal development and functioning of the hand.

Dupuytren's Contracture
Dupuytren's contracture is a disorder of the skin and underlying tissue on the palm side of the hand. Thick, scar-like tissue forms under the skin of the palm and may extend into the fingers, pulling them toward the palm and restricting motion. The condition usually develops in mid-life and has no known cause (though it has a tendency to run in families). Surgery is the only treatment for Dupuytren's contracture.

Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis, an inflammation of the joints, is a disabling disease that can affect the appearance and the function of the hands and other parts of the body. It often deforms finger joints and forces the fingers into a bent position that hampers movement. Disabilities caused by rheumatoid arthritis can often be managed without surgery - for example, by wearing special splints or using hand therapy to strengthen weakened areas. For some patients, however, surgery offers the best solution.
