Nerve, Tendon & Vascular Injuries (Reconstructive Surgery)

Injuries to nerves, tendons, and blood vessels can severely affect movement, sensation, circulation, and overall limb function. These injuries often occur due to accidents, trauma, deep cuts, machinery injuries, burns, or surgical complications and require timely, expert care for the best recovery.

At Paras Hospital, we specialize in advanced reconstructive surgery for nerve, tendon, and vascular injuries, focusing on restoring function, strength, and quality of life.

Understanding These Injuries

Nerve Injuries

Nerves carry signals between the brain and the body. When damaged, they can cause:

  • Loss of sensation
  • Weakness or paralysis
  • Tingling or numbness
  • Chronic pain

Tendon Injuries

Tendons connect muscles to bones. Injury can lead to:

  • Inability to move fingers, hand, or limb
  • Reduced grip strength
  • Pain and stiffness
  • Deformity if left untreated

Vascular Injuries

Blood vessel damage can disrupt blood supply, leading to:

  • Severe bleeding
  • Swelling
  • Cold or pale limbs
  • Risk of tissue death if untreated

Prompt diagnosis and surgical repair are critical to prevent permanent damage.

Causes of Nerve, Tendon & Vascular Injuries

  • Road traffic accidents
  • Industrial or machinery injuries
  • Deep cuts or lacerations
  • Sports injuries
  • Burns or crush injuries
  • Fractures with soft tissue damage
  • Penetrating trauma (knife, glass, metal)

Conditions Treated

Peripheral Nerve Injuries

  • Complete or partial nerve cuts
  • Stretch or compression injuries
  • Loss of motor or sensory function

Tendon Injuries

  • Flexor tendon injuries (fingers and hand)
  • Extensor tendon injuries
  • Tendon ruptures
  • Delayed tendon injuries with stiffness

Vascular Injuries

  • Arterial or venous lacerations
  • Blood vessel compression or blockage
  • Limb-threatening circulation loss

Diagnosis and Evaluation

At Paras Hospital, diagnosis involves:

  • Detailed clinical examination
  • Sensory and motor function assessment
  • Doppler studies for blood flow
  • Imaging (Ultrasound, CT angiography, MRI)
  • Electrophysiological tests for nerve injuries (when required)

Each case is evaluated individually to plan the most effective treatment.

Treatment Approach

Non-Surgical Management

Used in selected mild injuries:

  • Immobilization and splinting
  • Physiotherapy and rehabilitation
  • Pain and inflammation control

Surgical Management

Surgery is required in moderate to severe injuries and may include:

  • Nerve repair or nerve grafting
  • Tendon repair or tendon reconstruction
  • Microsurgical vascular repair
  • Revascularization to restore blood flow

Our surgeons use microsurgical techniques to achieve precise repair and maximize functional recovery.

Post-Surgical Recovery and Rehabilitation

  • Early mobilization under guidance
  • Physiotherapy to restore strength and movement
  • Sensory re-education for nerve recovery
  • Regular follow-ups to monitor healing

Recovery depends on injury severity, timing of treatment, and rehabilitation adherence.
