Hand transplantation is a surgical methodology to transplant a hand from one individual to another. The donor hand usually comes from a brain-dead donor and is transplanted to a recipient who has lost one or both hands/arms.
Injuries, infections, and other ailments that may affect the hand or upper extremity are all treated through hand surgery (usually from the tip of the hand to the shoulder). Hand surgery can be practiced by general surgery, orthopedic surgery, and plastic surgery graduates. Chiroplasty or cheiloplasty is the name for hand plastic surgery.
Hand surgeons perform a wide range of operations, including fracture repairs, releases, transfers, and tendon repairs in addition to reconstructing injuries, rheumatoid deformities, and congenital anomalies. In addition to reattaching amputated fingers and limbs, they also do microsurgical repair of soft tissues and bone, nerve rebuilding, and surgery to improve function in paralyzed upper limbs.
