Function, movement and reconstruction
The hand contains small bones, joints, tendons, nerves, blood vessels and specialised skin working together. Symptoms that appear similar can have different causes, so diagnosis and functional assessment come before treatment.
Patient information
Plastic and hand-surgery assessment may be relevant for selected tendon or nerve injuries, scars and contractures, soft-tissue defects, post-traumatic problems and some lumps or compression symptoms. Availability of a particular operation must be confirmed after examination.
A deep cut, severe crush injury, amputation, uncontrolled bleeding, loss of circulation, rapidly increasing swelling or spreading infection needs urgent hospital assessment. This website cannot triage an emergency.
Assessment reviews pain, sensation, circulation, joint stability, tendon movement, grip, scars, swelling, previous imaging and how the problem affects work and daily activities. X-rays, scans or nerve tests may sometimes be requested.
Splinting, hand therapy, activity modification, medicine or observation may be considered for selected conditions. When surgery is appropriate, the technique depends on the injured or diseased structure.
Dressings and wound healing are only part of recovery. Protecting a repair while preventing avoidable stiffness may require a condition-specific splint and supervised hand therapy. Timelines vary widely.
Cost depends on diagnosis, imaging or tests, procedure complexity, implants or consumables, anaesthesia, facility, dressings, therapy and follow-up. A quotation follows assessment.
Treatment availability and suitability are confirmed by the clinic after assessment. These guides are educational and do not replace individual medical advice.

Reconstructive plastic surgery aims to restore function, coverage and proportion after injury, burns, disease, congenital difference or previous surgery. The goal and technique depend on the tissue missing and the patient’s wider health.

A fresh burn and a mature burn scar require very different care. Large, deep, electrical or chemical burns—and burns affecting the face, hands, airway or major joints—need prompt hospital assessment rather than an ordinary clinic appointment.

Scar revision aims to make a scar less conspicuous, better aligned or more comfortable. It cannot restore uninjured skin, and a new scar replaces the old one after surgical revision.

A keloid is a raised scar that grows beyond the original wound boundary. Treatment can flatten, soften or reduce symptoms, but recurrence is common—especially when excision is used without an appropriate combined plan.

Depending on diagnosis, assessment may cover tendon, nerve, scar, soft-tissue, joint, fracture-related or compression problems. Not every condition requires surgery.
Deep wounds, severe crush injuries, amputations, uncontrolled bleeding, poor circulation, major loss of movement or spreading infection require urgent hospital assessment.
Some problems need imaging, ultrasound, electrodiagnostic testing or other investigations, while others can be assessed clinically.
It can be essential after selected repairs to protect healing tissue and restore movement safely. The therapy plan depends on the structure treated.
Recovery ranges from weeks to many months depending on the condition, operation, stiffness, nerve recovery, rehabilitation and work demands.
No. Surgery may aim to improve function or prevent deterioration, but injury severity, scarring and healing limit the result.
