Hand Surgeries

What is Hand Surgery?

Hand Surgery is a specialized branch of orthopedic and microsurgery that focuses on assessing and treating all conditions affecting the hand and wrist, including sports injuries, trauma, congenital or acquired deformities, and tendon or nerve disorders.

When should you consult a hand surgeon?

• Fractures or injuries to bones and fingers

• Tendon or nerve lacerations

• Difficulty moving or loss of hand strength

• Congenital or acquired deformities of the hand or wrist

• Post-surgical complications in the hand

How is diagnosis and treatment performed?

• Thorough clinical examination of the hand and wrist

• X-rays or MRI imaging

• Conservative treatment like splinting or physiotherapy in some cases

• Surgical intervention to repair fractures, tendons, nerves, or restore function

• Regular follow-up to ensure restoration of motion, strength, and fine motor function

Follow-up Duration

Varies depending on injury or surgery type; long-term follow-up may be required, especially after intricate surgical repairs.
