What Is Reconstructive Hand and Wrist Surgery?
Reconstructive hand and wrist surgery restores function and appearance after trauma, disease or congenital differences, using microsurgical, tendon, nerve and soft-tissue techniques. Function comes first, so your hands work for daily activities, work and personal care while looking as natural as possible. Nerve-specific conditions are covered on our upper limb peripheral nerve surgery page.

Why Is Rehabilitation So Important After Hand Surgery?
Rehabilitation can matter as much as the operation itself. Dr. Wisser works closely with Good Shepherd Penn Partners in East Windsor, where occupational and hand rehabilitation specialists help restore motion, strength and coordination.
What Is Recovery Like After Hand Surgery?
- Simple repairs: usually only brief activity restrictions
- Complex reconstructions: may need specialized splinting, serial casting, and weeks to months of occupational rehabilitation
Our team coordinates with your rehabilitation team throughout recovery. Results vary by patient. See our patient resources for preparation tips.
