Understanding Hand Injuries

Hand injuries can occur due to various reasons, including accidents, trauma, burns, or congenital conditions. These injuries may involve soft tissues, bones, nerves, or blood vessels, leading to functional impairments and cosmetic concerns. Whether it's a laceration, fracture, amputation, or deformity, prompt and precise treatment is crucial to achieve optimal outcomes.

At Instar Cosmetic Surgery, we begin with a comprehensive evaluation of the hand injury. Dr. Shukan Kapadia and our experienced team employ advanced diagnostic techniques to assess the extent of damage and formulate a personalized treatment plan. We prioritize both functional restoration and aesthetic refinement to ensure the best possible results for our patients.

Reconstructive Plastic Surgery Solutions

Our clinic offers a range of reconstructive plastic surgery solutions for various hand injuries, including:
Soft Tissue Reconstruction
Repairing soft tissue damage is essential for restoring hand function and appearance. We utilize advanced techniques such as skin grafts, flap reconstruction, and microsurgery to address wounds, tissue loss, and scarring effectively.
Bone Reconstruction
Fractures and bone deformities in the hand can significantly impair function and aesthetics. Dr. Shukan Kapadia specializes in intricate bone reconstruction procedures, including fixation techniques, bone grafting, and joint reconstruction, to restore stability and mobility to the hand.
Nerve Repair
Nerve injuries in the hand can lead to sensory loss, weakness, and dysfunction. Our team is skilled in microsurgical nerve repair techniques to restore sensation and motor function, promoting optimal hand function and dexterity.
Vascular Reconstruction
Adequate blood supply is vital for tissue viability and wound healing. We offer vascular reconstruction procedures to restore blood flow to injured tissues, ensuring optimal healing and functional recovery.
Joint Reconstruction
Damage to hand joints can severely limit movement and functionality. Dr. Shukan Kapadia specializes in joint reconstruction surgeries, including arthroplasty and arthrodesis, to alleviate pain and restore joint function.
