Plastic Surgery
Reconstruction, wound care and hand surgery
Quick Answer
The Plastic Surgery department at Amrutha Orthopaedic Hospital provides reconstructive surgery for injuries, burns, non-healing and diabetic wounds, hand injuries and scars — using skin grafting, flap reconstruction and microvascular techniques to restore both function and appearance.
About the Plastic Surgery department
Plastic surgery is chiefly reconstructive: restoring form and function after trauma, burns, infection or surgery. It works closely with orthopaedics on injuries where bone and soft tissue are both damaged, and with general medicine on wounds that will not heal, such as diabetic foot ulcers. Cosmetic procedures form a smaller part of the specialty.

Frequently asked questions
Is plastic surgery only cosmetic?+
No. Most plastic surgery is reconstructive — restoring skin, soft tissue and function after injury, burns, infection or cancer surgery. Cosmetic procedures are only one part of the specialty.
Why would an orthopaedic patient need a plastic surgeon?+
Severe fractures often damage skin and soft tissue as well as bone. A plastic surgeon provides healthy tissue cover over the repaired bone or implant, which is essential for healing and for reducing the risk of infection.
Can a wound that has not healed for months be treated?+
Often yes. Long-standing wounds usually need the underlying cause addressed — such as blood sugar control, blood supply or infection — alongside specialised dressings, debridement and, where required, grafting or flap cover.
