For the past 70 years, New York Plastic Surgical Group, a Division of Long Island Plastic Surgical Group, has offered state-of-the-art plastic and reconstructive procedures. At the Institute for Hand Surgery at NYPS Group, our mission is to provide comprehensive, cutting edge, patient-centered care for the treatment of injuries and disorders of the upper extremity and peripheral nerve throughout the body.
Meet our DoctorsPlastic surgeons receive extensive training on surgery all throughout the body, providing them with a more comprehensive view of the essential relationship between bone and soft tissue. In addition to completing six to eight years of primary training, plastic surgeons specializing in the hand spend an extra year of training devoted solely to hand surgery. Many people aren’t aware of this advanced level of expertise.
With exposure to a vast array of conditions, plastic surgeons are highly proficient in treating conditions of the upper extremity and peripheral nervous system. Our team is composed of subspecialty-trained plastic surgeons who can treat all types of injuries and disorders. While some problems pertaining to the upper extremities require surgery, many can effectively be treated with non-surgical methods, such as medication, splints, therapy, or injections.
Our mission goes beyond just putting you back together. The hand surgeons at NYPS Group focus on restoring optimal form as well as function by tending to our patients’ individual needs.
Many of the structures that control the hand and wrist either cross the elbow joint or originate from the area around the elbow joint. Soft tissue problems around the elbow can affect the downstream, resulting in issues in the hand and/or wrist. Common syndromes related to the elbow include tennis elbow, cubital tunnel syndrome, and radial tunnel syndrome. If your symptoms prevent your elbow and/or wrist from moving properly, our specialists can help.
Conditions include:
The wrist controls the positioning of the hand. Injuries to the wrist can present themselves as pain, loss of motion, or weakness. Some of the most prevalent conditions that affect the wrist include common injuries, tendonitis, arthritis, and carpal tunnel syndrome. Our plastic surgeons will work to provide you with an accurate diagnosis and a comprehensive treatment plan to suit your needs.
Whether you experience a trauma, like a fingertip injury or hand fracture, or suffer from a chronic disease, like thumb arthritis or carpal tunnel syndrome, our experienced hand specialists are dedicated to restoring your hand function through the most effective treatment options possible. Depending on your unique problem, this may include solutions like rest, splinting, steroid injections, or surgery. We’ll work closely with you to figure out which treatments are best for your condition and lifestyle, ensuring you obtain optimal long-term results.
Conditions include:
The peripheral nervous system is a network of nerves that controls your ability to sense and move. When peripheral nerve injuries and entrapment occur, this can lead to various sensory and motor symptoms throughout different parts of the body, such as the ankle. Our surgeons are experienced in treating a variety of nerve-related ankle conditions. They will create a customized treatment plan for your individual needs to ensure you regain as much of your body’s normal function as possible.
Conditions include:
Nerve conditions in the head can cause symptoms that either stay localized to the area or spread to the entire body. Although discomfort like headaches are common and often harmless, more severe head symptoms can be completely debilitating for some people. From facial paralysis to migraines, chronic head problems can interrupt daily living and complicate our simple abilities, like talking or seeing clearly. Our reconstructive surgeons are highly experienced with treating nerve problems throughout various areas of the body, including the complex nature of the head. If you want to rid yourself of frequent pain, restore lost feeling, or address other symptoms, our doctors can help you find the best treatment for improving your specific condition.
The knee is often put under a significant amount of stress and pressure as we move throughout our daily activities. With a network of nerves running across this joint, trauma to the area can lead to problems with normal function in the lower leg, ankle, and foot. Since the knee acts as an intersection for tendons, bones, and nerves, these structures can be at-risk from conditions such as trauma and arthritis. We perform routine and complex procedures to correct nerve injuries. Our goal is to provide long-term relief so you can get back to doing what you love.
Conditions include:
Nerves running through the thigh can become irritated due to factors like tight clothing, weight gain, sudden trauma, or an underlying condition. Symptoms of nerve issues in the thigh are often most noticeable after sitting or standing. While some problems can go away with conservative treatments, others may need more in-depth solutions. Our surgeons specialize in the peripheral nervous system to help you find relief from the symptoms that are causing you discomfort and preventing you from moving normally.
Conditions include:
When the nerves in the upper extremity become compressed, stretched, or detached, this can have a significant effect on how the hand and wrist feel, move, and function. These areas tend to suffer from nerve injuries and overuse-related syndromes, due to being manipulated continuously in different ways for various activities. Since the hand and wrist are responsible for carrying out so many of our daily functions, our reconstructive surgeons are committed to finding which treatment options can provide the best improvement for your long-term function.
Conditions include:
The elbow is used in some of our most basic daily activities. When the nerves in this area becomes injured or otherwise impaired, this can limit our ability to perform routine motions. In addition, nerve conditions in the elbow can affect the function of the wrist and hand leading to permanent weakness and numbness in the hand. Nerve-related elbow conditions are most often caused by pressure, stretching, overuse, or sudden injuries. By determining the most appropriate treatments and therapies, our reconstructive surgeons can help relieve your chronic symptoms and restore optimal use of your elbow and arm.
Conditions include:
Nerve injuries or disorders in the shoulder area can be devastating and can severely impact our ability to live and work. When the shoulder is strained or injured during a fall, sports, or motor vehicle accident, the nerves can be stretched or torn. This can lead to irreversible loss of feeling to all or part of the arm and hand. Depending on the severity of the injury, your nerves may recover on their own with time. In some severe cases, the loss of function is permanent and requires surgery to improve the outcome. To ensure you receive as much return of function as possible, our surgeons will dedicate the time to provide accurate diagnoses so you receive the most effective treatment for your individual needs.
