Call NowWhat is Hand and Upper Limb Trauma?
Hand and upper limb trauma refers to any injury involving the:
-
Fingers
-
Hand
-
Wrist
-
Forearm
-
Elbow
-
Shoulder (in some cases)
These injuries may result from accidents, falls, workplace hazards, sports injuries, or crush trauma. Early and appropriate treatment is vital to prevent long-term complications such as stiffness, weakness, or deformity.
Types of Hand and Upper Limb Injuries We Treat
- Fractures (Broken Bones): Injuries to the small bones of the fingers, hand, or forearm require proper alignment and sometimes surgical fixation using pins or plates.
- Tendon Injuries: Lacerated or ruptured tendons in the fingers or wrist can severely limit motion and strength. Surgical repair is often necessary for full recovery.
- Nerve Injuries: Damage to nerves such as the median, radial, or ulnar nerve can cause numbness, tingling, or paralysis. Microsurgical techniques are used to repair nerves.
- Crush Injuries: Industrial or machinery-related injuries often involve crushed bones, blood vessels, and skin. Timely debridement and reconstruction are key.
- Amputations: Partial or complete finger/hand amputations are managed with microsurgical reattachment or prosthetic planning, when possible.
- Joint Dislocations: Dislocated fingers or wrists are carefully repositioned and stabilized. Severe cases may need ligament repair.
- Burns and Soft Tissue Loss: Severe trauma with skin loss requires skin grafts, flap coverage, and reconstructive plastic surgery.
