Brachial Plexus Surgery with Dr. Mohamed El Mahy

Dr. Mohamed El Mahy specializes in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of brachial plexus injuries.

The brachial plexus is a network of nerves responsible for movement and sensation in the shoulder, arm, forearm, and hand. Damage to these nerves can result in weakness, loss of sensation, or partial or complete paralysis of the upper limb.

Brachial plexus injuries may occur due to:

• Car and motorcycle accidents.
• Falls and severe trauma.
• Nerve rupture or laceration.
• Severe stretching of the nerves.
• Birth-related brachial plexus injuries.
• Erb’s palsy.
• Traumatic injuries causing partial or complete weakness or paralysis of the arm.

The appropriate treatment depends on the location and severity of the nerve injury, the time since the injury occurred, and the remaining function of the affected muscles.

Treatment may include:

Nerve Repair

Direct repair may be considered when a damaged or severed nerve can be surgically reconnected.

Nerve Grafting

A nerve graft may be used when there is a gap between the damaged ends of a nerve that prevents direct repair.

Nerve Transfer Surgery

Nerve transfer surgery may be performed to restore specific movements when the original injured nerve cannot provide adequate recovery.

Tendon Transfer Surgery

A tendon transfer may be considered to restore lost movement in selected chronic nerve injuries or when additional functional reconstruction is required.

Hand Nerve and Peripheral Nerve Surgery

Dr. Mohamed El Mahy evaluates and treats peripheral nerve injuries affecting the hand and upper limb.

Conditions include:

• Severed hand nerves.
• Digital nerve injuries.
• Ulnar nerve injuries.
• Median nerve injuries.
• Radial nerve injuries.
• Loss of sensation after trauma.
• Weakness or loss of movement in the hand.
• Nerve injuries caused by cuts, accidents, or severe trauma.
• Persistent loss of function following previous nerve repair.

Depending on the injury, treatment may involve nerve repair, nerve grafting, nerve transfer, or tendon transfer to improve upper limb and hand function.

Tendon Transfer Surgery with Dr. Mohamed El Mahy

Tendon transfer surgery may be used when nerve damage or paralysis prevents certain muscles from performing an essential movement.

During tendon transfer surgery, the tendon of a functioning muscle is redirected to perform a movement that has been lost.

Tendon transfers may be considered in selected cases of:

• Hand paralysis.
• Chronic peripheral nerve injuries.
• Radial nerve palsy.
• Ulnar nerve palsy.
• Median nerve injuries.
• Brachial plexus injuries.
• Deformities caused by muscle imbalance.

Hand Tendon Surgery

Dr. Mohamed El Mahy treats tendon injuries involving the hand and upper limb, including cases requiring:

• Repair of severed hand tendons.
• Tendon reconstruction.
• Tendon release procedures.
• Tendon transfer.
• Reconstruction of complex injuries involving tendons, nerves, and blood vessels.

Hand and Upper Limb Microsurgery

Microsurgery allows surgeons to repair very small nerves, blood vessels, and other delicate structures of the hand and upper limb.

Microsurgical procedures performed in complex hand and upper limb reconstruction may include:

• Microsurgical nerve repair.
• Blood vessel repair.
• Reconstruction of complex hand injuries.
• Finger replantation.
• Upper limb reconstruction following severe trauma.

Dr. Mohamed El Mahy has specialized experience in hand surgery and microsurgical reconstruction of complex upper limb injuries.

Finger Replantation After Amputation

In selected traumatic amputations, finger or limb replantation surgery may be considered.

Replantation requires expertise in hand surgery, microsurgery, blood vessel repair, nerve repair, and tendon reconstruction.

Traumatic amputation should be treated as a medical emergency. Whether replantation is possible depends on several factors, including the mechanism of injury, condition of the amputated part, level of amputation, time since injury, and the overall condition of the patient.

Hand Fracture Treatment with Dr. Mohamed El Mahy

Dr. Mohamed El Mahy treats hand and finger fractures, including:

• Metacarpal fractures.
• Finger fractures.
• Intra-articular fractures.
• Complex hand fractures.
• Fractures associated with tendon or nerve injuries.
• Malunited fractures.
• Deformities resulting from old fractures.

Treatment may be surgical or non-surgical depending on the type of fracture, displacement, joint involvement, and its effect on hand function.

Wrist Fracture Treatment with Dr. Mohamed El Mahy

Dr. Mohamed El Mahy evaluates and treats wrist fractures and complex wrist injuries, particularly cases affecting hand function or requiring surgical fixation.

Elbow Fractures and Injuries

The experience of Dr. Mohamed El Mahy includes the treatment of upper limb trauma and fractures, including elbow fractures and complex injuries around the elbow joint.

Treatment aims to restore joint stability, movement, and upper limb function whenever possible.

Hand and Upper Limb Deformities in Children and Adults

Dr. Mohamed El Mahy evaluates and treats congenital and acquired hand and upper limb deformities.

These may include:

• Congenital hand deformities.
• Finger deformities.
• Post-traumatic hand deformities.
• Deformities following incorrectly healed fractures.
• Deformities associated with joint conditions.
• Deformities resulting from nerve injuries or muscle imbalance.
