Restoring hand function, mobility, and comfort through specialized surgical care.
Hand Reconstructive Surgery in Surrey, B.C.
Hand Reconstructive Surgery in Surrey, B.C.
The hands are among the most complex structures in the body, made up of delicate networks of bones, tendons, nerves, and ligaments that work together to provide movement and sensation. When injury, disease, or chronic conditions affect the hand, even simple daily tasks can become difficult or painful.
At The Plastic Surgery Group at City Centre, our board-certified plastic surgeons provide reconstructive hand surgery to restore function, relieve pain, and improve quality of life. Using advanced surgical techniques and a personalized treatment approach, our team helps patients regain strength, movement, and confidence in their hands. Our surgeons treat a wide range of hand conditions, from nerve compression and arthritis to traumatic injuries and soft tissue growths. Every treatment plan is tailored to the individual, with a focus on preserving function and supporting long-term recovery.
Hand Conditions We Treat
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve becomes compressed as it passes through a narrow channel in the wrist. This condition can cause numbness, tingling, weakness, and pain in the hand and fingers.
When conservative treatments such as splints or therapy do not provide relief, surgical treatment may be recommended to release pressure on the nerve. Carpal tunnel surgery can restore normal nerve function and reduce symptoms, helping patients regain comfort and strength in their hands.
Dupuytren's
Dupuytren’s contracture is a condition in which thickened tissue forms beneath the skin of the palm and fingers. Over time, this tissue can tighten and pull one or more fingers inward toward the palm, limiting the ability to straighten the hand.
Surgical treatment focuses on removing or releasing the abnormal tissue to restore finger mobility. The goal is to improve hand function and allow patients to use their hands more comfortably for everyday activities.
Ganglion Cysts
Ganglion cysts are fluid-filled sacs that commonly develop along the joints or tendons of the wrist or hand. While these cysts are benign, they can cause discomfort, limit motion, or create visible swelling. When symptoms persist or interfere with daily activities, surgical removal may be recommended. This procedure removes the cyst and its underlying connection to the joint or tendon to help reduce the chance of recurrence.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition that can cause inflammation, joint damage, and deformity in the hands. As the disease progresses, patients may experience pain, stiffness, and difficulty performing routine tasks.
Reconstructive hand surgery can help restore alignment, reduce pain, and improve hand function in patients with advanced rheumatoid arthritis. Procedures may involve joint repair, tendon reconstruction, or other techniques designed to preserve movement and strength.
Thumb Base Arthritis
Thumb base arthritis, also known as carpometacarpal (CMC) arthritis, occurs when the cartilage at the base joint of the thumb wears down over time. This condition can lead to pain, swelling, and difficulty gripping or pinching objects.
When nonsurgical treatments are no longer effective, surgical reconstruction may be performed to relieve pain and restore stability to the joint. Treatment is designed to improve hand strength and allow patients to return to daily activities with greater comfort.
Trigger Fingers
Trigger finger occurs when inflammation narrows the sheath surrounding a tendon in the finger or thumb. This can cause the finger to catch, lock, or snap when bending or straightening. Surgical treatment releases the tightened tendon sheath, allowing the tendon to glide smoothly again. This procedure typically restores normal movement and eliminates the locking sensation.
Trauma
Traumatic injuries to the hand can involve fractures, tendon injuries, nerve damage, or complex soft tissue damage. Because the hand plays such a critical role in daily function, careful reconstruction is often necessary to restore mobility and sensation.
Our surgeons provide specialized care for traumatic hand injuries, using advanced reconstructive techniques to repair damaged structures and support optimal healing. Treatment plans are tailored to the type and severity of injury, with the goal of restoring both function and appearance whenever possible.
