Hand Injuries in Newark
Jump To
Plastic and reconstructive surgery can help restore a more normal appearance and function after a hand injury, infection, or disease. The board-certified plastic surgeons at Advanced Plastic Surgery Center in Newark, Delaware offer a wide range of reconstructive and emergency hand surgery procedures to improve hand function and enhance quality of life.
Comprehensive Reconstructive and Emergency Hand Surgery
If your hand is impaired due to trauma, infection, or other conditions, surgery may significantly improve your condition. The goal of hand surgery is to restore near-normal function to fingers and hands affected by injury or infection. After the procedure, bandages or dressings are applied to keep the surgical site clean, and splints may be used when necessary for support and healing.
Postoperative Care Instructions for Hand Surgery
After your surgery, you will receive specific care instructions, which typically include:
•How to care for your hand following surgery
•Medications to apply or take orally to aid healing and reduce the risk of infection
•When to schedule follow-up appointments with your plastic surgeon
Adhering closely to these postoperative instructions is essential for optimal healing and recovery.
Importance of Therapy and Follow-up Care
Proper hand therapy plays a critical role in restoring strength, flexibility, and movement. It is vital to avoid returning to daily activities prematurely, as this increases the risk of re-injury. Following your therapist’s and surgeon’s recommendations, continuing hand therapy, and attending scheduled follow-up visits are key to achieving successful surgical outcomes.
