Hand Surgery at the Helyos Center for Surgery and Rehabilitation

Hand surgery is a medical field focused on treating injuries, diseases, and congenital anomalies of the hand, fingers, and wrist. The hand is an extremely important part of the body, and its functionality directly impacts a person’s ability to perform everyday tasks. At the Helyos Center for Surgery and Rehabilitation, patients receive high-quality treatment for hand conditions using advanced surgical methods.

Main indications for surgical intervention:

Hand injuries: Fractures, dislocations, tendon or nerve damage.
Tenosynovitis or shingles: Inflammation of tendons causing pain and limited mobility.
Bone growths: Such as osteoarthritis leading to joint deformation.
Congenital anomalies: Hand and finger development disorders, like polydactyly or syndactyly.
Nerve disorders: Carpal tunnel syndrome, where the median nerve is compressed, causing pain, numbness, and weakness.
Hand cancer: Malignant tumors or new growths on the hand.
Inflammation and infections: Chronic or acute inflammations, abscesses in the hand area.

Preoperative preparation:

Doctor consultation: Includes medical history, examination, and necessary tests like bloodwork, X-rays, or MRI.
Pre-surgery instructions: Dietary guidelines, food restrictions, and medications to reduce pain or inflammation.
Hygienic procedures: Important for infection prevention.
Medication management: Sedatives or other drugs may be prescribed if needed.

Surgical procedure:

Microsurgery: Used for tendon, nerve, or vessel injuries with precision tools under microscopes.
Fracture repair: Involves the use of fixators or metal plates.
Surgery for osteoarthritis or deformities: May include joint replacement or resection.
Hand reconstruction: For congenital anomalies or major injuries, plastic surgery may be necessary to restore function.
