What Is Hand Surgery

Hand surgery is a specialized field of surgery focused on treating conditions, injuries, and deformities affecting the hand, wrist, and forearm. This includes both surgical and non-surgical techniques to restore function, relieve pain, and improve the appearance of the hand. Common reasons for hand surgery include traumatic injuries like fractures or tendon damage, carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, congenital deformities, nerve compressions, and chronic conditions such as trigger finger or Dupuytren's contracture. Depending on the condition, hand surgery may involve delicate procedures on bones, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and skin to repair damage and restore mobility. In some cases, microsurgery is used to reconnect tiny blood vessels or nerves after injury. Hand surgeons are specially trained to combine orthopedic, plastic, and microvascular surgery techniques, ensuring the best possible functional and cosmetic outcomes. Recovery may involve physical therapy or hand rehabilitation to help regain strength and flexibility. Hand surgery can significantly improve a patient’s quality of life by restoring hand function and reducing discomfort, making everyday tasks easier and pain-free.
