Key Procedures

Nerve Repair & Grafting

Primary microsurgical repair of severed nerves end-to-end, or bridging large gaps with sural nerve grafts. Best outcomes when performed early after injury.

Tendon Transfer

Redirection of a functioning muscle-tendon unit to replace the action of a permanently paralysed one. Restores grip, extension, or other critical functions.

Free Muscle Transfer

Transplantation of a functioning muscle from a distant site to restore movement where the native muscle is irreparably damaged. Requires microsurgical anastomosis.

Neurolysis

Surgical release of a compressed or scarred nerve from surrounding adhesions to restore nerve conduction. Done for compressive neuropathies and post-traumatic entrapments.
