Upper Limb Reconstruction Surgery<\/h1>\n

Also known as reconstruction of the upper extremity, upper limb reconstruction involves reconstructing and\/or restoring function to the upper limbs whose structure is made up of the hands, wrists, forearms, elbows, arms and the shoulders.<\/p>\n

The damage to the upper limbs may have been caused by aggregated trauma and injuries, disease (cancer), or infection, which may have led to loss of soft tissue, tendons, bone, ligaments or nerves.<\/p>\n

The goal of the procedure is to salvage and preserve function to the limb in question in order to circumvent any form of amputation either partial or complete, and as result restore quality of life.<\/p>\n

The reconstruction of the upper limb is performed by a team of multi-disciplinary experts who include an orthopedic surgeon, trauma surgeon, and a plastic and reconstructive surgeon.
