Crush Injury Hand Surgery is a specialized procedure performed by plastic surgeons to treat severe hand injuries where the hand has been crushed or compressed by a heavy object. These injuries can cause extensive damage to the bones, muscles, tendons, nerves, and blood vessels, leading to loss of function, deformity, and in severe cases, potential amputation if not properly treated.

In a crush injury, the force exerted on the hand can cause complex fractures, dislocations, and soft tissue damage. The immediate goal of surgery is to stabilize the hand, repair damaged structures, and restore as much function as possible. This can involve multiple surgical techniques, including fracture fixation with plates, screws, or pins; repair or grafting of damaged tendons and nerves; revascularization to restore blood flow; and skin grafts or flaps to cover extensive soft tissue loss.

Dr. Sushil Nahar, has expertise in microsurgery, which is often essential in these cases to repair tiny blood vessels and nerves under a microscope. The surgery may be performed in stages, depending on the severity of the injury and the patient's overall condition. The goal of crush injury hand surgery is to restore the maximum possible function of the hand, allowing the patient to return to daily activities and work with minimal disability.
