Your hands do everything — they carry your children, earn your livelihood, and connect you to the world around you. When a hand injury or condition threatens that ability, you need a specialist with the skill, experience, and technology to restore what matters most.

Dr. (Prof) Sudhir Mehta — M.B.B.S., M.S., M.Ch (Plastic Surgery) — has been that specialist for patients across Haryana and beyond for over 24 years. Based in Ambala, Dr Mehta is a Board-Certified Plastic, Cosmetic & Hand Surgeon trained at some of India’s most prestigious institutions, including MAMC New Delhi, PGIMS, Apollo Chennai, and the renowned Ganga Institute of Microvascular & Hand Surgery, Coimbatore.

What Is a Hand Surgeon — And Why Does It Matter?

Not every doctor is equipped to treat the hand. The hand is one of the most complex structures in the human body — 27 bones, dozens of tendons, nerves, blood vessels, and joints — all working in precise coordination. A hand surgeon is a superspecialist trained to address injuries, deformities, and conditions affecting the hand, wrist, and fingers using both surgical and non-surgical approaches.

Dr Mehta’s M.Ch in Plastic Surgery, combined with specialised training in microvascular and hand surgery, means he can operate with the precision that general orthopaedic surgeons cannot. Whether it’s reconnecting a severed finger or correcting a post-burn deformity that has restricted movement for years, the outcomes depend entirely on who holds the instruments.

Conditions Dr Mehta Treats

1. Hand and Finger Replantation

Among the most complex procedures in all of surgery, replantation involves reattaching a completely amputated finger, thumb, or hand using microsurgical techniques. Dr Mehta has extensive experience in replantation, working under magnification to reconnect arteries, veins, nerves, and tendons as narrow as a millimetre.

Every hour counts in replantation. If you or someone near you has suffered a traumatic amputation, call Dr Mehta’s emergency line immediately — +91-9729058872 — available 24×7, all days.

2. Crush Injuries

Industrial accidents, road traffic injuries, and heavy machinery mishaps can cause severe crush injuries to the hand. These injuries often involve multiple structures simultaneously — bones, tendons, skin, and nerves — and require a coordinated, staged surgical approach. Dr Mehta’s experience with complex hand trauma allows him to plan reconstruction systematically, prioritising both functional recovery and appearance.

3. Post-Burn Deformities of the Hand

Burns frequently cause the fingers and hand to contract into fixed, dysfunctional positions. These post-burn contractures can prevent a person from opening their hand, gripping objects, or performing basic daily tasks. Dr. Mehta specialises in reconstructive procedures — including scar release, skin grafting, and flap surgery — to restore range of motion and function.

4. Tendon and Nerve Injuries

A cut tendon means a finger that won’t move. A damaged nerve means numbness, weakness, or chronic pain. Dr Mehta performs primary and secondary tendon repair as well as nerve reconstruction, helping patients regain sensation and movement that may have been lost due to trauma or disease.

5. Non-Healing Diabetic Wounds of the Hand

Diabetes compromises blood supply and immunity, turning small hand wounds into deep, chronic ulcers that don’t heal on their own. Dr Mehta provides advanced wound care and reconstructive options for diabetic patients, helping them avoid complications like infection or amputation.

6. Congenital Hand Conditions

Some children are born with abnormalities of the hand — extra fingers (polydactyly), fused fingers (syndactyly), or underdeveloped digits. Early surgical correction not only improves function but also supports normal development and confidence. Dr Mehta’s expertise in plastic and reconstructive surgery makes him uniquely suited for these delicate procedures in younger patients.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can a completely cut finger really be reattached?
Yes — with microsurgical techniques, it is often possible to reattach amputated fingers and restore significant function. Success depends on the mechanism of injury, the time elapsed, and the condition of the amputated part. Act fast and call us immediately.

Q: How long does recovery from hand surgery take?
It varies widely by procedure. Tendon repairs may require 6–12 weeks of rehabilitation. Replantation recovery can extend over several months. Dr Mehta will give you a realistic timeline specific to your case.

Q: Is Dr Mehta available for emergencies at night?
Yes. Emergency services are available 24×7, all days of the week. Call +91-9729058872 for urgent cases.

Q: Does Dr Mehta treat children with hand conditions?
Yes, Dr Mehta treats patients of all ages, including children born with congenital hand abnormalities.

Q: Can burns cause permanent hand disability?
Untreated post-burn contractures can severely restrict movement permanently. However, reconstructive surgery can restore significant function even years after the original burn. Early intervention gives the best results.
