Surgery
If surgery is offered the decision can often be complex (an artificial limb can be discarded or changed at any time, surgery is more difficult to alter). In these cases Reach can provide support for families who are offered this form of treatment, this support includes:
  • Articles from and contact with other Reach parents who have already accepted or rejected surgical options.
  • Articles from professionals working in the field of Reconstructive Hand surgery.
  • Clinical Notes on Pollicisation - the rotating of a finger to create a thumb.
We also recommend seeking a second opinion and here we can help in identifying a surgeon with experience in the technique being offered.
