Wrist and Elbow Arthroscopy

Damaged nerves and tendons may cause pain, numbness, weakness or loss of movement. Treatment may include nerve decompression, direct repair, nerve grafting, nerve transfer or tendon reconstruction.

Microsurgery uses specialised magnification and instruments to repair small nerves and blood vessels. It may be required after severe trauma, tissue loss or amputation.

In selected traumatic injuries, microsurgical techniques may be used to restore blood circulation and reattach an amputated finger, hand or other upper-limb part.
