Hand Surgery
Created in 2010, MSU Health Care's Hand Management Unit (HMU) through Michigan State University College of Human Medicine's Department of Surgery utilizes the latest technological advancements in the treatment of hand and micro-vascular surgery including Virtual Reality. If the patient chooses, our office offers in-clinic hand procedures and other local anesthetic procedures using virtual reality in addition to traditional surgical interventions. We have proven that this novel, first in the nation approach improves anxiety and even reduces injection pain for our more needle-phobic patients. It’s the most efficient and safest way to deliver this type of surgery without the need for major anesthesia. Patients can eat normally and take their usual medications on the day of surgery. We find it particularly useful for our more elderly patients, but children and adults alike have benefited from this technology.
