Senior physicians, some of the leading in the country in the field of hand surgery, have come together to establish the expert center for emergency surgery of the hand at the "Medica" Medical Center.
The new center, manned from afternoon hours Sunday to Thursday by one of the team members, will offer first response to a wide variety of injuries and emergency situations of the hand, the forearm, the elbow and the arm – including fractures, lacerations, tendon , nerve, vascular and soft tissue damages.
Recommendations on the necessity of a surgical treatment will be given following professional consulting and brainstorming between all the team members. In cases where a surgical treatment will be required, the Center commits to perform the procedure as soon as possible by one of the senior doctors among the expert center’s founders. The advanced equipment and infrastructure found in Medica’s operating rooms are suitable for performing any variety of surgery involving the upper limb, including arthroscopic equipment, microscope, surgical equipment and more.
Hands are one of the most important organs in our bodies for daily functioning. Almost every action is performed using the hands, from basic activities such as eating and wearing clothes to complex activities such as writing, playing and drawing. The proper functioning of the hands is made possible by an extremely complex mechanism involving a large number of bones, joints, tendons, muscles, nerves, and a soft tissue mantle with special features, all of which act as one single unit in an unusually complex unison.
Hand surgery is a sub-specialty that deals with an array of issues involving the upper limb, from the arm to the fingertips. Due to the importance and the complexity of this department it was recognized as a formal specialization by the Scientific Council of the Medical Association of Israel, with a two-and-a-half year training period and final exams at its conclusion. Treatment of upper limb issues requires a deep understanding of anatomy, biomechanics, and upper limb pathophysiology as well as the knowledge of unique surgical techniques.
Hand damages and injuries are the most common type of trauma treated in the emergency rooms.
The quality of first response to hand injuries is of great importance in preventing long-term functional damage and, often times, in preventing the necessity for an invasive surgical treatment. In cases where surgical treatment is required – the time component has a great significance to the success of the treatment and to the swift return to full function.
The Center for the Emergency Surgery of the Hand guarantees an effective, optimal and definitive treatment for an array of upper limb injuries, starting from the diagnostic stage, through the main procedure and attending the patient all the way to the end of the treatment.
Waiting times at the Center are significantly shorter than those in the ERs and the emergency centers, the first response is more professional, and a recommendation for the necessity of the surgery is given by a number of senior doctors.
In case a surgical treatment is required, it will be performed without delay by leading medical professionals in the country.
