Vascular (Artery) Nerve Tendon Repair

Vascular (Artery) Nerve Tendon Repair

Our hands are our limbs that hold on to life; Our only organs that we need to be aware of the fact that we are alive and to move freely, our tendons, arteries (vessels) and nerves, which enable us to move as a result of an injury, can be injured and completely lose their function. If we fall into this situation, it should be repaired as soon as possible and the healing process should be followed.
If possible, repair should be done immediately or within a few days for our tendons that have completely ruptured as a result of the injury that caused the tendon incision. and begin the physical therapy process. In the advanced period, tendons may shorten and repair may be difficult. In these cases, we will need to perform tendon repair by taking a tendon graft from another place to provide movement.
Vascular repairs are operations that require urgent intervention. and blood supply to the limb should be provided by repairing with microsurgery. The limb whose blood supply cannot be provided will enter the gangrenous period and the loss will be finalized.
Nerve repairs are also one of the operations that need to be repaired immediately or within a few days, if it is certain that they are broken. Even if the cut nerve enters the degeneration stage, partial or almost complete conduction can be obtained if repair is performed.
  The absence or limitation of our hands and fingers, which offer us the opportunity to live freely in terms of movement or sense, can cause us serious problems. Treatment should be sought when there is an opportunity, and life should be maintained in the most appropriate way.
