Preservation of the Amputated Part
Denver Health is the state’s longest standing trauma center, caring for the largest volume of patients needing 24/7 access to microvascular hand surgery. Our orthopedic team specializes in treating patients with the most severe hand injuries, including replantation of traumatic amputations, soft tissue reconstructions, vascular repair and traumatic brachia plexus injuries.
