Digital Nerve Repair, Finger or Thumb

Digital Nerve Repair, Finger or Thumb is available through Mishe Health Plan at a published cash price, paid when you book.

Digital nerve repair for the finger or thumb is a surgical procedure aimed at restoring sensation and function to a damaged or severed digital nerve in the hand. Injuries to the digital nerves can result from trauma, lacerations, or crush injuries, leading to loss of sensation, tingling, or numbness in the affected finger or thumb. The surgery involves carefully reattaching the severed nerve ends or grafting nerve tissue from elsewhere in the body to bridge the gap. Surgeons may use microsurgical techniques to ensure precise alignment of the nerve fibers, promoting optimal healing and function. Following surgery, patients undergo a period of immobilization and rehabilitation to protect the repaired nerve and facilitate nerve regeneration. Recovery can be gradual, with improvements in sensation and function occurring over several months.
