Tetrahand surgery – an overview
This webinar brings together surgeons who specialise in tetrahand surgery to discuss contemporary approaches to restoring hand function following spinal cord injury.
Through a combination of short talks and a live Q&A format, the session explores what is achievable with tetrahand surgery, how these outcomes are accomplished, and which patients may benefit.
The discussion focuses on restoring meaningful function in individuals with very limited hand movement.

Patient experience
Reflections of upper limb surgery
This video shares powerful personal insights from patients who have undergone upper limb surgery. Through honest reflections and first hand experiences, it highlights the challenges, emotions, and recovery journeys that shape life after surgery.
Nick’s story – From injury to independence
Nick explains he became a C5–C6 quadriplegic after an injury in 2002 while working as a firefighter. Upper limb surgery later improved his grip and independence, enabling self-care, driving, gardening, and sport. He returned to the London Fire Brigade as a cadet instructor and strongly recommends the surgery.
Sarah’s expereince
Sarah describes breaking her neck in 2018 and the life-changing surgeries at Stoke Mandeville that restored arm and hand function. A tendon graft and nerve transfers greatly improved her mobility and independence, allowing her to perform daily tasks and even learn to drive. She recommends the surgery and values the transformative results.
