What is hand reconstruction surgery?


At Lansdale Plastic Surgery, we specialize in hand reconstruction surgery to restore both the function and appearance of your hands after injury, illness, or congenital conditions. Our experienced surgeons are skilled in treating a wide range of hand problems, including traumatic injuries (such as fractures, tendon or nerve damage, burns, or tissue loss), as well as congenital abnormalities like webbed fingers or extra digits. We also address degenerative conditions such as severe arthritis and the removal of tumors affecting the hand.
 
Using advanced surgical techniques, our Lansdale Plastic Surgery team customizes each procedure to the patient’s unique needs. This can involve delicate repair or grafting of skin, tendons, nerves, or bones; tissue transfers; and, when appropriate, the use of artificial implants. Our primary goal is to help you regain as much movement, sensation, and strength as possible—while also improving the appearance of your hand.
 
After hand reconstruction surgery at Lansdale Plastic Surgery, we work closely with patients through every step of their recovery, including personalized physical therapy. This ensures the best possible outcome and helps you adapt to any changes in hand structure. The success of your surgery will depend on the specific nature and severity of your condition, but our compassionate and highly trained team is dedicated to achieving the best results for every patient.

How long does it take to recover from hand reconstruction surgery?


At Lansdale Plastic Surgery, we understand that recovery time following hand reconstruction surgery is a top concern for our patients. The healing process varies for each individual and depends on factors such as the extent of the injury, the specific surgical techniques used, and your overall health. In most cases, initial healing of surgical wounds occurs within two to four weeks. However, regaining full strength, flexibility, and function in the hand typically takes several months.
 
Most of our patients at Lansdale Plastic Surgery notice significant improvement within three to six months after surgery. For more complex procedures—such as tendon or nerve repairs—recovery and rehabilitation can extend up to a year. Our board-certified plastic surgeons will work closely with you to monitor your progress and tailor your recovery plan to your unique needs.
 
Physical therapy is an essential part of your rehabilitation journey at Lansdale Plastic Surgery. Our team partners with skilled therapists to help restore movement, reduce stiffness, and maximize your hand’s function. When you can return to work or normal activities depends on your occupation and how much you rely on your hands. Light tasks may be possible within a few weeks, but activities involving heavy lifting or fine motor skills may require a longer period of rehabilitation.

How long does hand surgery usually take?


At Lansdale Plastic Surgery, the duration of hand surgery varies depending on the specific procedure, the complexity of your condition, and your individual health needs. For example, minor hand surgeries such as trigger finger release or carpal tunnel release are typically completed within 20 to 45 minutes. More complex procedures, including tendon or nerve repair, fracture fixation, or reconstructive surgery, may require one to two hours or longer.
 
In addition to the surgical time, please keep in mind that preparation before surgery and recovery afterward in our operating or recovery suite will add to the total time spent at our facility. Our experienced hand surgeons at Lansdale Plastic Surgery will discuss the details of your procedure with you and provide a personalized estimate of how long your surgery and recovery may take. Your comfort, safety, and understanding are our top priorities.

What are the common indications for hand reconstructive surgery?


At Lansdale Plastic Surgery, our experienced surgeons are dedicated to restoring both the function and appearance of your hands through advanced reconstructive techniques. We understand how vital your hands are to daily life, and we offer comprehensive solutions for a wide range of hand conditions.
 
Traumatic Injuries:
Our team frequently treats patients who have suffered traumatic hand injuries, including deep lacerations, crush injuries, fractures, tendon or nerve damage, and partial or complete finger amputations. At Lansdale Plastic Surgery, we utilize state-of-the-art surgical methods to repair these injuries, aiming to restore as much function and natural appearance as possible.
 
Congenital Deformities:
We also provide reconstructive surgery for congenital hand differences such as syndactyly (fused fingers), polydactyly (extra fingers), and underdeveloped digits. Our personalized treatment plans help children and adults achieve improved hand function and aesthetic results.
 
Degenerative Diseases:
Conditions like advanced osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis can significantly affect hand movement and comfort. The specialists at Lansdale Plastic Surgery offer reconstructive procedures—including joint replacement, tendon transfer, and soft tissue reconstruction—to relieve pain and restore mobility.
 
Tumors and Infections:
If you are facing benign or malignant tumors in the hand, or if you have suffered tissue loss due to infection, our surgeons can expertly remove the affected tissue and reconstruct the hand to preserve its function and appearance.
