Restore Your Hands
When you think about it, your hands are involved in just about every daily activity, but this fact is often overlooked until movement or sensation is impaired and they no longer function normally. Problems in the hands due to arthritis, congenital issues, or trauma may require hand and wrist surgery.
At West Michigan Plastic Surgery, our board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Scott Holley specializes in treating complex hand issues such as replantation of severed fingers, and joint replacement for arthritis. He also treats less severe conditions such as fingertip injuries and carpal tunnel syndrome.
Dr. Holley received additional fellowship training in Hand & Microsurgery at the world-renowned Kleinert Institute in Louisville, Kentucky. He holds the CAQ (certificate of added qualification) in hand surgery that identifies an orthopedic or plastic surgeon as a fully trained expert in this surgical subspecialty. Dr. Holley uses a full spectrum of hand surgery techniques, to provide the highest level of care to patients in Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids.
What Is Hand & Wrist Surgery?
Upper extremity surgery is a complex, highly specialized spectrum of procedures that requires the ability to diagnose and treat problems that affect the hand, wrist, and forearms. The anatomy of the hand and wrist are so complex that treatment by a board-certified specialty surgeon like Dr. Holley will often yield the best results.
Hand and wrist surgery treats disorders that affect the strength, flexibility, or function, of the wrists or fingers. Hand surgery may also be done to correct defects present at birth. The goal of hand surgery is to alleviate pain and restore the normal function of the hands and fingers.
