The field of hand surgery is constantly evolving to meet the challenges of repairing intricate anatomical structures with limited availability of donor tissue. The past 10 years have seen an exponential growth in tissue engineering, which has broadened the perspectives of tackling these age-old problems. Various fabrication techniques such as melt electrospinning and fused deposition modelling have been employed to synthesize 3-dimensional bioscaffolds that can be used to replace lost tissue. These bioscaffolds with strategic biomimicry have been shown to allow for integrative and functional repair of tissue injuries. This review article summarizes the most current advances in tissue engineering and its applications in the field of hand surgery. It outlines the current tissue engineering techniques commonly used for tackling musculoskeletal problems and highlights the most promising approaches according to clinical evidence. In particular, the paper explores regenerative medicine concepts applied to specific tissues including nerve, bone, cartilage, tendon, ligament, and vessels. In the face of innovative and pioneering research, tissue engineering will undoubtedly play a key role in reconstructive hand surgery in the not too distant future.
