I recently underwent reconstructive hand surgery following an injury which resulted in a crushed and partially severed index finger. The original injury occurred offshore and had to be self-treated for weeks, so left me with an unhealed fracture, infection and unable to use the finger. Mr. Agawal, consultant surgeon at the Royal Preston Hospital plastic surgery unit, undertook reconstruction of the distal part of the index finger using a bone graft from my elbow. The finger is now fully healed (minus the nail of course), is pain and infection free, and I have recovered full use of the finger. Throughout the treatment Mr. Agawal and all his team were excellent and I cannot praise the level of care enough. I received all the information and advice I needed, and the department did everything they could to fit the operation and follow-ups into a full schedule. Having initially reconciled myself to losing part of the finger, I feel really fortunate to have regained full functionality of the hand.
