Functional hand surgery following tetraplegia.

R L Waters1, I H Sie, H Gellman, M Tognella.   

Abstract

Traumatic tetraplegia is an overwhelming injury often requiring permanent adaptations by patients and families. The greatest potential for improving the quality of life lies with rehabilitation and restoration of upper extremity function. Reconstructive hand surgery following tetraplegia is individualized based on functional level and can significantly improve hand function and quality of life. Careful selection and evaluation of surgical candidates in combination with an experienced surgeon and hand rehabilitation team are critical for a successful outcome.
