Hand Surgeon Questions Hand Surgery

Can you do reconstructive surgery on a finger?

I accidentally slammed the door on my ring finger the other day. Now it looks very misshapen, even after the swelling went down. I may need reconstructive surgery.

You should see a hand surgeon to evaluate your situation. There are different treatment methods depending on the injury. 


You would need to be examined and the finger needs to be x-rayed as soon as possible. There can be a fracture that is causing the deformity
Yes, I do this type of surgery.
