Hand microsurgery is a relatively new but very popular field of medicine. Patients of all ages and genders with acute and chronic diseases of the hands turn to microsurgeons.
Microsurgery is the most difficult stage at which the best results can be achieved, and lost functions can be restored with maximum accuracy.
Specialists from Swiss clinics offer unique treatment methods that allow you to radically cope with the disease or keep your hands in functional condition for as long as possible.
Due to the small size of the hand structures, microsurgical methods are often used in surgical treatment (magnifying optics, filigree instruments, ultra-thin wires with atraumatic needles).
Restriction of movement and pain (after injury, illness or surgery, the fingers or hands cannot be bent or stretched, the freedom of movement compared to the healthy hand);
Pain in the hand or fingers at rest;
Pain that occurs during movement (any movement, lifting weights, turning a key or doorknob, doing push-ups, pressing on the palm);
Numbness of the fingers (persistent or occurring after certain movements or stress, prolonged use of a computer mouse, prolonged phone calls);
Night pain, "numbness" of the hands and fingers;
The fingers "click" when bending or extending;
The appearance of formations, scars on the fingers or hands that interfere with movement;
Congenital malformations or congenital diseases;
Deformations, unsightly appearance of the hand after injuries, scars.
To choose a method and determine the course of the operation, the doctor examines the patient and then sends him for additional examination. Depending on the preliminary diagnosis, it may include:
Radiological examination;
Computer tomography;
MRI
Blood and urine laboratory tests.
Sometimes finger dexterity tests and other tests are required. A complete examination will provide a complete picture of the course of the disease.
