​Hand and ​Plastic surgery

Hand and ​Plastic surgery


​Plastic Surgery expert witnesses specialise in opinions on reconstructive procedures of birth disorders, trauma, burns, and disease. Some plastic surgeons also complete additional training and perform cosmetic surgery, however, the background for their surgical training is reconstructive plastic surgery. ​A p​lastic and reconstructive surgery ​expert witness would potentially cover procedures such as breast reconstruction, burn repair, congenital defect repair, cleft palate, extremity defect repair and reconstruction, hand surgery, and scar revision surgery.

​Procedures in facial surgery, facial trauma, scars, burns, chronic and acute wounds, as well as cosmetic surgery​ can unfortunately lead to clinical negligence expert reports on the standard of care in plastic surgery procedures.

Hand Expert Witnesses can give evidence and report on hand injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, and carpometacarpal bossing. The​y may provide reports concerning rheumatoid arthritis and Dupuytren’s contracture​, and testify regarding hand therapy, tendonitis, cumulative trauma injuries, and rheumatoid deformities, ​and related issues.
