Hand surgery

Hand surgery is a specialized field of surgery that focuses on treating conditions and injuries affecting the hands and upper extremities. This includes a wide range of conditions such as fractures, nerve injuries, tendon injuries, arthritis, congenital deformities, and other hand-related problems. Hand surgeons are highly skilled in both surgical and non-surgical techniques to restore function, relieve pain, and improve the appearance of the hands. Common procedures performed by hand surgeons include carpal tunnel release, tendon repair, nerve repair, joint replacement, fracture fixation, and reconstructive surgery for congenital anomalies or trauma. Hand surgery requires a deep understanding of the complex anatomy and biomechanics of the hand and wrist, as well as expertise in microsurgery techniques to perform delicate procedures on small structures like nerves and blood vessels. The goal of hand surgery is to help patients regain optimal function and mobility in their hands, enabling them to perform daily activities and tasks with ease.
