Microsurgery and Reconstruction

We treat nerve injuries, complex fractures, pseudoarthrosis, and bone infections, applying advanced reconstructive microsurgery to preserve the limb and restore function in complex cases after previous surgeries or serious traumas.

Main pathologies treated with microsurgery and reconstruction

What is reconstructive microsurgery?

Advanced repair of nerves, tissues and bones

Reconstructive microsurgery is a subspecialty of orthopedic surgery that allows the repair of nerves, tissues, or bones using a surgical microscope, connecting vessels and structures with millimeter precision.

This technique allows the transplantation of living tissues taken from the patient themselves. (skin, bone, muscle or nerve) with its blood supply to regenerate damaged areas, restore function and avoid amputations.

It is the definitive solution in cases where biology and blood flow are the key to previous surgical failure.

Rescue surgery

The last chance to save a limb

Salvage surgery is indicated in patients with injuries or failed surgeries where function or limb is at risk. The goal is to identify the cause of failure (usually biological or vascular) and restore the conditions necessary for healing.

Cases in which it applies:

  • Fractures that do not heal after multiple operations.
  • Atrophic or infected pseudoarthrosis.
  • Tissue loss or exposure of surgical material.
  • Chronic nerve damage without recovery.
  • Persistent infections or wounds that do not heal.

Microsurgery allows the delivery of live, irrigated tissue, guaranteeing healing and functional recovery even in highly complex situations.

Our patients' experience

Vascularized bone graft

Transplantation of a segment of living bone with its artery and vein to reconstruct defects or non-healing joints. It is the most effective treatment for fractures with biological deficiencies or inadequate blood supply (such as non-healing joints of the tibia, humerus, or scaphoid).

Vascularized corticoperiosteal flap

Microsurgical procedure that transfers a thin bone graft along with the layer that covers it and its blood vessels, stimulating bone consolidation in areas of failure.

Nerve repair and reconstruction

Treatment of nerve sections or injuries by:

  • Direct suturing under a microscope
  • Autologous grafts to bridge defects
  • Nerve or tendon transfers to restore function in chronic injuries

It allows the restoration of mobility, strength, and sensitivity in the affected limb.

Brachial plexus surgery

High-precision surgeries aimed at restoring arm and hand function through nerve and muscle grafts or transfers. Essential for patients with loss of movement following severe trauma.

"Fix and Flap" surgery

A combined technique that integrates bone fixation and vascularized flap coverage in a single surgery. It allows for the reconstruction of open fractures, complex wounds, or areas with skin loss, reducing complications and infections.

Resolving doubts…

Conventional surgery aims to stabilize, while reconstructive surgery restores living tissue, its blood supply, and its ability to regenerate. It is the approach of choice when previous surgeries have failed.

When bone fails to heal due to insufficient blood flow, microsurgery using vascularized bone grafts biologically reconstructs the area and allows for a definitive cure.

Depending on the extent of the damage, a direct suture, an autologous graft, or a nerve transfer is performed. The goal is to restore mobility, strength, and sensation, while preventing permanent damage.

It combines bone and soft tissue reconstruction in a single procedure, reducing the risk of infection, shortening recovery time, and improving function and aesthetic results.

Yes. Our microsurgical approach allows us to reconstruct bone, nerve, and tissue with functional and aesthetic results, even in cases that other centers consider unsolvable.
