Types of Reconstructive Surgeries

‍

Foot reconstruction, or the reconstruction of a foot, can be used to treat a wide variety of injuries. A foot reconstruction can be used to treat a deformity of the foot or ankle, like a deformed foot, a foot with a congenital abnormality, or an injury that has resulted in a loss of a toe or bigger toe. Foot reconstruction may also be used to treat a foot that has been severely injured by a car accident, or burn injuries. If you have suffered a foot injury, even a minor one, you may be able to have your foot reconstructed. While foot reconstruction is usually performed on people with relatively minor injuries, it may be possible for people with more severe injuries to have the foot reconstructed.

Hand reconstruction, also referred to as hand surgery, is used to treat a variety of injuries and health issues. A hand reconstruction can be used to treat a hand injury, such as a hand that has been damaged by a burn or blast injury. Disorders that can cause deformities in the hand, like cerebral palsy and spina bifida, may also be treated with hand reconstruction. Hand reconstructions may also be performed to treat an injury to the wrist, like a wrist injury that has resulted in fusion of the wrist.

A face reconstruction is used to treat injuries to the face, such as burns, that have caused significant damage to the skin, soft tissue, and bones of the face. Burns that have caused significant damage to the soft tissues of the face may be treated with a face reconstruction. In addition to burns, facial reconstruction can also be used to treat tumors and other health issues that cause facial deformities. Facial reconstruction may be performed to restore an appearance of symmetry following facial injury or to improve facial function, like following surgery to remove facial implants.

As the demand for prosthetic and implanted reconstruction increases, more and more surgeons are specializing in this area. Especially for the reconstructive surgeon, it can be extremely rewarding treating people with prosthetic devices. This is because the reconstructive surgeon gets to play a key role in helping a patient achieve the best possible look with their prosthetic device. There are a variety of prosthetic and implanted reconstruction treatments. For example, reconstructive surgeons often perform facial reconstruction. This can include filling in a large crater in the patient’s face with skin grafts, or reshaping the patient’s face with implants. Prosthetic and implanted reconstruction can also improve the appearance of the hands. Hands are often fitted with large, metal devices. Sometimes, these devices are not the most natural-looking hands. Other times, hands are fitted with silicone, more subtle-looking hands.
