We provide a regional specialist hand trauma service, including complex reconstruction, limb salvage and replantation.
Hand trauma covers a broad range of injuries, from closed fractures to complex open wounds involving multiple structures. These injuries can have a significant impact upon a patient’s ability to work or even carry out activities of daily living.
