Microsurgery

Orthopaedic Microsurgery

Description

Microsurgery is performed by an orthopaedic surgeon to repair nerves, blood vessels, tendons, or other very small structures within the body that are better viewed under a microscope. During a microsurgical procedure, use of the operating room microscope or high-powered loupe magnification and specialized instruments enable the surgeon to perform the most complex repairs. Advancements in technology and microsurgical techniques have made even the reattachments of severed fingers and toes successful.

Orthopaedic surgeons at Shoreline Orthopaedics are skilled and experienced in microsurgical procedures used to correct injury, disease or congenital defect of the hand and upper extremities.
