About Hand Injuries at Kayakriti

The human hand is an extraordinary structure, combining skin, muscles, tendons, nerves, arteries, veins, bones and ligaments into a precise working unit. Injury to any of these layers can disturb grip, pinch and fine movement. Because all components work together, hand surgery is one of the most demanding subspecialties in plastic and reconstructive practice.

Most serious hand injuries involve more than one structure at the same time, so a careful examination is essential. Time-critical issues include uncontrolled bleeding, open fractures, exposed tendons or nerves, threatened circulation and any total or partial amputation. At Kayakriti in Lucknow, our team is geared to assess all of these on arrival and plan urgent treatment quickly.

Clean, isolated injuries to a single tendon, vessel or nerve are uncommon. More often, hand injuries combine fractures, tendon ruptures, nerve cuts and vessel damage. When a finger or part of the hand is amputated, replantation can sometimes be considered as an emergency procedure, ideally within six hours of injury, when the severed part has been kept cool and clean.

Surgery for a hand injury is delicate, lengthy and skill-intensive. Tiny vessels, nerves and tendons are stitched together under high magnification using a microscope and microsurgical instruments. Every layer that is missed or repaired poorly can compromise the final result, so meticulous technique and unhurried operating time are essential to a strong recovery.

Hand injuries are often associated with fractures, and stable bony fixation is the first step before soft tissue repair. Damaged skin is replaced with grafts, local flaps or microvascular free flaps to give a soft, pliable cover. Repair of injured median, ulnar and radial nerves is vital for muscle power and sensation, and Dr. Agarwal, FRCS Edinburgh, follows established principles to optimise long-term function.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Is hand reconstruction safe?
Yes, when performed by an experienced microsurgical team. At Kayakriti, our team uses magnification, fine instruments and structured anaesthetic protocols to manage bleeding, infection and nerve risks. Most patients recover meaningful function with appropriate surgery, hand therapy and follow-up at our Lucknow centre.
How urgent is treatment after a hand injury?
Severe hand injuries, especially amputations, threatened circulation or open fractures, are time-critical. Replantation is best within six hours, with the part transported on ice. Even less dramatic injuries should be assessed promptly, as early surgery and hand therapy strongly influence the final functional outcome.
How long is recovery from hand surgery?
Recovery depends on the structures repaired. Simple wounds may heal in two to three weeks, while combined tendon and nerve injuries need months of structured therapy. Dr. Agarwal, FRCS Edinburgh, tailors a step-by-step rehabilitation plan so each patient regains as much grip, pinch and sensation as possible.
What does hand injury treatment cost in Lucknow?
Cost depends on injury severity, microsurgery, hospital stay and post-operative therapy. Replantation and free flap procedures are more involved than simple repairs. After assessment, our team provides a clear, itemised estimate covering surgery, anaesthesia and follow-up, helping families plan finances and any travel from outside Lucknow.
Who needs specialist hand surgical care?
Anyone with a deep cut, crush, amputation, fracture, burn or infection involving the hand benefits from specialist evaluation. Children, manual workers and patients with diabetes deserve particular care. Our team is trained to manage the full range of hand emergencies and elective reconstructions at our Lucknow clinic.
